What if the fibers from animals that are often considered waste could become one of the most useful tools in your garden? This lecture-based class explores how natural fibers like sheep wool and alpaca can be used to build healthier, more resilient soil systems. You’ll learn the “why” behind fiber use, along with practical ways to integrate it into your garden, from mulch to full forest garden layering systems. The class includes: A booklet that you can take home A live demonstration of how to apply and layer fiber in garden beds A small hands-on activity so you can feel and work with the material yourself Clear guidance on using fiber for moisture retention, soil building, and plant support Perfect for gardeners, homesteaders, and anyone interested in regenerative practices and working more in partnership with the land.
