Horn Farm Posts Programs

The Horn Farm Center, 4945 Horn Road, York, has planned two programs. There is a fee, and registration is required at https://hornfarmcenter.org. For more information, call 717-757-6441 or email education@hornfarmcenter.org.

Frosty Finds: Mid-Winter Foraging Walk will be held on Sunday, Feb. 1, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The program will focus on wild foods, local plants and ecology, alternative uses for plants through wildcrafting and medicine, and ethical foraging. Beginners and experienced foragers are welcome.

A Forest From Scratch?: Growing the Miyawaki Method will take place online on Tuesday, Feb. 10, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Participants will learn about the Miyawaki Method for planting rapid-growth mini forests from the ground up. Topics covered will include the method's history and ecological underpinnings, basic premises of the process, and current examples of mini forest systems at the Horn Farm Center. While mini forests were initially designed for urban and industrial contexts, the session will explore how agricultural and residential spaces are worthy contenders for rapid rewilding.

Meet a Mini Forest: The Miyawaki Method will also be offered as an in-person experience at the Horn Farm on a date yet to be decided.
