If you would like to find out more about #ForestGarden #FoodForest, I highly recommend Martin Crawford's book 'Creating a Forest Garden'

https://www.agroforestry.co.uk/product/creating-a-forest-garden-2/

Also, I made a free 20 minute #ForestGarden Primer

And helped create a free online spreadsheet of all the plants in Martin Crawford's book

* Every garden should be a #WildlifeGarden

* Use #NativePlants where possible

* Create habitat where you can

* Include the human, with #WildFlowers & edible crops

* Extend garden principles of mutual aid into the commons

* Grow edible ecosystems

I made a big long page of free #gardening & #GardenDesign resources.

My favourites at the moment are:

* PlantNet for IDing native grasses & sedges (much fun!) https://identify.plantnet.org/

* Seek for IDing bugs & critters https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app

* iNaturalist for more community nature observations https://www.inaturalist.org/
