Join us for an enlightening edible landscape presentation by Jeremy Lekich, founder and owner of Nashville Foodscapes. Jeremy has spent his career in agriculture with a focus on permaculture, landscape design, biodynamic and regenerative practices. Jeremy's presentation will offer insights and ideas into "foodscaping" whether you are entirely new to the concept or have been installing edible plants into your landscape for some time. Jeremy will spend the majority of the time going through the presentation and leaving space at the end of the event for questions.
