Bernhard Gruber - Living in the forest garden with its perma-veggies
About the lecture
We have a more than 30 years old forest garden close to the Austrian Alps in a big biodiversity. In addition to old European cultivated fruit varieties, there are also exotic species such as Papau (Asimina triloba) and Chinese vegetable tree (Toona sinensis), but also numerous wild herbs. Our main focus is on biodiversity, preservation of old cultivars, perennial cereals and perennial, alternative protein sources, processing of raw materials, educational work, exchange and training, as well as international cooperation.
As an Intro I would like to show a short movie from our Forest Garden, then we can go an my presentation and FAQ.
