More on Food Forests:
Also known as ‘Door Yard Garden’, ‘Mixed Garden’, Huerta Casero, and
Kampong, ‘Food Forest’ is an term coined by Englishman Robert Hart to
describe the intensive food, medicine, craft, and ornamental gardens of
trees, shrubs, herbs and annuals that surround homes in Kerala India,
Meso-America, Indonesia, and many other cultures. He recreated this,
with appropriately selected species, at his own home in a cool Northern
European maritime climate. The archetypical food forests found in the
rainy and sun soaked tropical climates can encourage a very dense spacing
of plants, this density may not be appropriate for all climates. For the more
limited water and lower sun angle found in a Mediterranean climate,
plants could be placed farther apart as found in the Mission Gardens of
old California.
