Undeniably, a food forest, or forest garden, has turned the traditional system of the in-ground garden on its ears. In our food forest, we will be producing vegetables, fruits, herbs, and medicinal plants and trees. Trees and plants will be grown naturally in a similar pattern they would grow in the natural world.

Typically, food forests are designed with seven different layers, unlike the single-layer found in a conventional garden. Those layers are: Sample Text

• the canopy layer, which mainly comprises of large fruit and nut trees
• the low tree layer comprising dwarf fruit trees
• the shrub layer comprising fruits like blueberries and raspberries
• the herbaceous layer comprising herbs, leafy greens and perennials
• the rhizonosphere for root crops
• the soil surface for ground cover crops
• the vertical layer comprising climbers and vines

The only difference between food forest and natural forest is that the natural forests do just fine without the need of human interference. Natural forests grow and flourish without the need for outside management. But our food forest will be managed by our specialized horticulture team.
