Plants, Wildlife and Polycultures for Forest Gardens and Regenerative Landscapes - Part 6
Welcome to Part 6 of our series, where we explore plant species from various layers of our forest gardens and around the world. Discover the local wildlife the gardens attract, and gain valuable insights into designing, building, and managing your regenerative landscapes.
Forest Garden Plants
Canopy Layer - Morus alba is one of the most reliable plants in our forest garden, growing fast, producing year after year (more than we can consume) and requiring very little care, in fact often thriving with neglect. We lift the lower branches of the largest tree in the garden and will thin the crown every 5 - 7 years to allow more light under the canopy where plenty of other wild and cultivated plants can grow alongside the tree.
