Forest gardens mimic the ecology of the woodland. Multiple layers of canopy, shrubs, herbaceous plants, ground covers and vines make up the plant life, with animals, birds and insects in abundance. These features are optimized to provide fruits, nuts, cooking & medicinal herbs, coppice wood and many other yields while building soil, drawing in beneficial insects (pollinators and predators) and providing a sanctuary for your mind.
Abundant Design will work out a complimentary perennial plant system based on your specific site and desires. Or try one of the starter guilds below:
