Why do we need food forests?
We know the environment is in trouble, and we want to do our bit to help out.
It’s easy to become discouraged and overwhelmed by the scale of the environmental problems we face.
This is why I grow a food forest.
A food forest creates a beautiful healthy ecosystem not only for you, but for all the inhabitants who call your patch of land home.
