In Marisha Auerbach's garden in Portland, OR, the Parsnip was planted over ten years ago. It self-seeds every year, providing a reliable food source throughout the year that helps open up the soil, attract beneficial insects, and support ecological succession.

The parsnip is not considered an invasive plant in Portland, Or, but it is in some areas of the eastern United States. It is good practice to know about how a plant reproduces, whether it is considered invasive, and have a plan for how you want to manage the plant before including it in your landscape.

Take a journey through Permaculture Food Forests in our upcoming online course: Permaculture Food Forests 101, provided through Oregon State University's Professional and Continuing Education:

Brief course description:
Permaculture food forests are intentionally cultivated forest gardens that contain native and cultivated plants and provide yields for humans and ecological functions.

Essentially, it's a low maintenance forest that's edible, medicinal and that enhances your local environment!

What are the Benefits of a Food Forest?

A food forest is a sustainable and natural way to produce healthy and organic food.

By learning how to tend your specific soil and develop plant communities you'll be able to improve your yield and provide nourishing and healthy food for you and your family.

About the Permaculture Food Forests Courses
This program is offered in two parts. The first section of this course focuses on the context of permaculture food forests. You will learn about the multiple considerations for creating a food forest in your specific climate. Videos, articles and exercises will help you discover plants for your food forest and learn how to build relationships between them to increase productivity.

The second section of this course is an instructor led Permaculture Food Forest Practicum. The assignments in this course will guide you step by step through the design of a food forest on the site of your choice. Worksheets and a template for your design will help you research the necessary information for a successful food forest in your region.

You can choose to take only the first section of the course or join us for both sections with the practicum offered in the Fall of 2020.
