Want to grow more than a garden? Start building a food forest 🌿✨
A food forest is all about planting with purpose — layers of edible, useful, pollinator-friendly plants that work together over time. And yes, you can start one from seed! 🌱
One of our favorite permaculture-inspired picks is Good King Henry, a traditional perennial green that fits beautifully into an edible landscape. Pair it with Sorrel for a tangy, reliable perennial green, Borage for pollinators, Calendula for cheerful self-seeding blooms, Chamomile for low-growing beauty, Dill for beneficial insects, Echinacea for pollinator support, and Clover to help support healthy soil.
Instead of planting a garden that starts over every year, think in layers: edible greens, flowers for pollinators, herbs for the understory, and soil-building plants that help the whole system thrive. Small seeds can become a more abundant, resilient garden over time. 💚
