Carbon Culture Workshop: Hands-On Hügelkultur

Want to create a lush, living landscape that captures water, stores carbon, and supports local ecology? Join Poly/Ana and Studio Petrichor for a hands-on workshop that brings regenerative design to life.

Led by regenerative garden designers Leigh Adams and Shawn Maestretti, this workshop offers practical tools, fresh inspiration, and meaningful connection—all in one nourishing morning.

🛠 What You’ll Learn

  • How to build a Hugelkultur berm using logs, branches, and compostable materials to optimize water resources, and build rich, living soil

  • How this method ties into whole-system design, climate action, and community resilience

🌍 Why It Matters

These regenerative techniques don’t just create beautiful, naturalistic gardens—they also:

  • Store carbon by using organic materials on-site

  • Capture rainwater and reduce runoff

  • Enrich the soil and foster beneficial fungal networks

  • Improve habitat and overall garden resilience

  • Foster a sense of place and strengthen community connection
