Frequently Asked Questions

What is a food forest?
A food forest is a diverse planting of edible plants that mimics the structure and function of a natural forest. It includes layers of trees, shrubs, herbs, and groundcovers that work together to create a sustainable ecosystem.

How do microforests benefit the environment?
Microforests provide numerous environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration, improved air quality, and increased biodiversity. They create dense, green spaces in urban areas that contribute to the overall health of the city.

Why use native plants in landscaping?
Using native plants in landscaping supports local wildlife, requires less water and maintenance, and creates a resilient and sustainable ecosystem. Native plants are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, making them a practical and eco-friendly choice.

“Forests are the world’s air-conditioning system – the lungs of the planet – and we are on the verge of switching it off.”
