A food forest is so much more than just a garden; it’s a collaboration with nature, offering a unique learning opportunity to work with and understand natural processes. By creating a resilient and productive ecosystem that mimics nature, a food forest garden allows you to save time and energy otherwise spent fighting nature.

This approach ensures a continuous and diverse yield of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and herbs, enhancing food security and resilience against environmental changes. Finding qualified expert guidance in this emerging technique can be challenging. As the concept of food forests is still gaining traction, there are limited resources and experienced practitioners available to provide the necessary support and knowledge for successful implementation.

Just recently completed the Fall 2022 VERGE Permaculture Design Certification. I am already using the skills I developed in the course to assist in an upcoming community project design. The course team provides incredible knowledge sharing and I don’t think I left the course with one unanswered question. The group has truly humbled my senses and understanding of permaculture and how it is so vital for Mother Earth that we learn this knowledge of the lands together.
