Working With the Land: Water, Soil & Plants, Principles & Practices for Regenerating Cascadia

Janaki Kilgore shares how restoring healthy ecosystems and thriving food systems can seem like an impossible task, but nature is the expert at supporting life! Our job is to learn how to work with natural systems and avoid the mistakes humans frequently make that impede natural processes. Solutions are site-specific and you may have been given the response “it depends” to your question “what should I do?” Decades of studies and experience in designing and maintaining food and native plant gardens has lead me to synthesize three core principles and the best practices that can guide us in every action we take while working with the land. I welcome questions about the challenges you are facing.
