Join us on March 29th at 4 p.m. for a presentation by Joyce Hostyn. Register via Eventbrite.
Joyce is co-founder of Little Forests Kingston, a Master Gardener, a permaculture designer, and an adjunct professor at Queen’s University in the Master of Earth and Energy Resources Leadership program.
Joyce dreams of living in a City in a Forest, a city alive with the sounds of birds singing, bees buzzing, leaves whispering, and children laughing. She believes each of us is a node in a mycelial network of transformation, re-enchanting—wilding—our cities one garden, one neighbourhood, one little forest at a time. She was raised on a farm where her family grew, foraged and preserved enough produce to last the year. In her quest to re-enchant our cities, Joyce collaborates with plants, soil, organisms, land, climate, geology—planting little forests, food forests, pollinator patches, and living lawns as songs, poems, love letters to the land. Any day she gets her hands dirty either on the land or in the kitchen is a magical day.
