the hummingbird center

Springtime is peaking its’ head around the corner and that means gardening and I’m particularly fond of permaculture gardening. Dunstan Smith from The Hummingbird Center in Dorchester, NH drops in to chat about all things permaculture and organic at the Center. The Center is an active permaculture farm with a 26-year perennial food system and hosts tours. It has a huge cob pizza oven, solar dehydrator, two outdoor solar heated showers, has classes for yoga, sound baths, has a literal farm to table restaurant called Nourish and can accommodate campers. The Hummingbird Center will begin offering yoga-based retreats with diverse programming ranging from edible wild plant walks to paint therapy, meditation, cooking classes, guided hikes, and much more.
