Season  long 

Resiliency  Gardening

  Class  

We are starting up Peaceful Belly’s Victory Garden Program again under the new name Resiliency Garen Class!

Join this amazing season long class

We are so excited to be offering this experience again. This garden class—this cohort, this garden family—is something truly special. Each season, as we grow as farmers and land stewards, the class grows too. We are adding new elements shaped by years of observation, experimentation, and listening closely to the land.

Together, we will build this garden using permaculture design, organic farming practices, biodynamic principles, and rewilding techniques. Participants will not simply learn about these approaches—they will live them, hands in the soil, witnessing how healthy ecosystems come to life through care, patience, and reciprocity.

This is an invitation into a living system, a shared experiment, and a magical adventure in growing food, knowledge, and community. Join us as we bring this garden to life—together.

Due to limited space, we are asking anyone interested to fill out a questionnaire.

If you or your family are interested in joining the class, please send an email to community@polumbolum.org, and we will send you the questionnaire to fill out. We will let all participants know about availability on March 30. Class will begin on April 7.
