The Complete Guide to Food Forest Gardens and How They are Revolutionising the Way We Think About Farming
The food forest is an intentional and carefully planned garden that mimics the natural forest.
It is a sustainable, organic, and eco-friendly way to grow nutrient dense food.
This presentation will give you all the impetus you need to start your own food forest garden.
You will learn about all of the different layers and types of plants that make up a food forest garden.
You will also learn about how to maintain it year-round so that it can thrive in all climates and conditions.

What is a Food Forest Garden?
A food forest garden mimics a woodland ecosystem.
It can be thought of as a forest in miniature.
The plants are arranged to mimic the layers found in a natural forest, with taller trees at the top, shorter trees and shrubs in the middle while the bottom layer consists of root crops and ground covers.

There are 9 layers of a permaculture food forest garden:
1. Canopy. The Tall Tree Layer.
2. Sub-Canopy. The Large Shrub Layer.
3. Shrub Layer.
4. Herbaceous Layer.
5. Groundcover and Creeper Layer.
6. Underground Layer.
7. Vertical and Climber Layer.
8. Aquatic or Wetland Layer.
9. Mycelial or Fungal Layer.

The idea is that this will provide more habitat for wildlife and produce more food with less space than a conventional vegetable garden.
Permies work with nature, not against it. There is no use of herbicides, pesticides or insecticides in an edible food forest garden.
