WORKSHOP ON FOREST GARDENING
• The participants of this workshop were informed about the method of forest gardening (the
art and science of growing plants in patterns that support mutually beneficial relationships
which create a garden that takes its vision from nature and the natural ecology of a young
forest).
• The inmates were given an opportunity to create beautiful, high-yield and diverse garden
that is largely self-maintaining (they will grow vegetable, herbs, and other useful plants
there).

14. • The goal of forest gardening in Panevezys Correction House is not only the
production of crops, but also the cultivation and perfection of new ways of seeing,
of thinking, and acting in the world.
