DIY Guide to Building a Hugelkulture Herb Spiral w/ Jacqui

During this call we'll go over some basics of using the hügelkultur method of passive composting and discuss if this project will suit your garden. There are so many design varieties and options for you to customize to compliment your space. No yard? No problem! You can even build this project on a smaller scale in a planter. We'll also discuss the magic of herb spirals with their ability to maximize space, create coordinated plant communities, allow you to enjoy their aesthetic beauty as modeled by the fibonacci sequence, their ability to transform a space and elevate a garden bed (literally) with witchy vibes, and more.

This call will have plenty of tips and tricks shared after building one by putting a digital design and theory into practice. We'll discuss site assessment, design and material considerations, seasonality, and more. This project was the perfect way to celebrate the samhain season in the garden by incorporating "fall cleanup" into the spiral design to leave more leaves, logs, and sticks right on site in the garden - maybe you'll even be inspired to build one this autumn.

during our craftalong we will actually be making our vision boards. we will chat about some of our favorite beltane traditions, go through some basic vision board-making tips and tricks, and share advice with anyone who doesn't feel particularly crafty but still wishes to participate.
