Certified UGA Master Gardener, Patrick Bexton, has been a lecturer, and advocate of permaculture practices for many years.  With the help of Brandon Banks, he has implemented and proven several unique ideas with his own farm, Willowood Garden, where he runs a CSA with the abundance that he grows. In this workshop, he will teach and explain the overall concept of swales, why they are important, and how to begin to build one.  This is a hands-on workshop. Participants are invited to take part in all aspects of layout, plotting, and building a segment of a real working swale.  You will understand the relative scale, properties, purpose, potential, and variations of the swale whether urban or rural, particular to our southeastern landscape and soil.

Swales are a key concept in the workings of Permaculture. They have been proven to rebuild soil that was considered barren with rather miraculous results.  Most of our soil problems, are the result of man’s influence.  But man can reverse big problems such as erosion and even desertification using this practice. Developers, city planners, land owners, farmers, and others all need this knowledge. Swales are used around the globe, but we will teach you how to layout and build swales for your own land’s benefit in Georgia’s red clay soil.
