From the street, it's becoming obvious that this is no longer a typical urban empty lot. |
If you didn't see my original post about the Food Forest, click here to see how I got to be present at its 'birth'. What was once just a simple empty lot has begun a transformation beyond my wildest dreams...and it will only get more lush and beautiful as the perennial plants and trees reach maturity.
Since I first wrote about this magical place, the Young Urban Homesteaders--the dynamic couple who dreamed up the whole plan--launched their own website and included a page about their long-term vision. They described what a Food Forest is better than I ever could. You MUST click here to take a look!
Here are a few photos I took this weekend showing some of the changes and growth in this humble and beautiful place.

Wow, look at this! A sturdy, natural arch for the grapes and hardy kiwi plants to climb. I can hardly wait to see this beautiful structure fill out with life. |

Strawberries along the entire front edge of the lot. |

The first of what will be many, many sunflowers this summer! |
More updates to come as this former empty lot becomes a tiny forest brimming with wildlife, plants, and food. :)
ReplyDeleteA food forest site has been included in the Bundoora Park Master Plan. Food Forests can also be a low maintenance, highly productive feature of community gardens.
