Another Food Forest

This customer wanted to build a food forest in this neglected part of their garden. We acted as a consultant and provided a planting plan and plant list for the customers food forest. We helped layout the plants for the install and were available throughout the process to help the customer do much of the work themselves. This is a great example of the consultation service we offer for those who want to do it themselves.

The design and planting plan. We created a south facing U shape, the larger trees are placed at the back and smaller upfront to create a heat trap and wind protection in the middle.
