A food forest is a type of garden where you grow many different fruits, nuts, herbs, and vegetables. It is designed to mimic a natural forest and has many different layers, from trees to shrubs, ground cover plants, vines, and more. These plants all work together, help each other grow, and create a balanced ecosystem that provides an abundance of food. Food forests can bring climate resilience, better health, and tasty produce to our plates. A high biodiversity of plants creates a rich forest like ecosystem which stabilizes to endure indefinitely. Identify the native perineal plants and observe how they grown in relation to each other. Identify the companion plants, crops that’ll help control pests etc.
Here at Ojhus Food Forest, we’ll be growing numerous heirloom veggies, both for consumption and for conservation of seeds.
