Food Forest Garden at RED

Food Forests are efficient in design as they mimic natural ecologies. The many benefits in the design includes reducing evaporation through the shade of a canopy and understory layer, increasing a diversity in yield, building edge for habitat, and building soil macro/micro nutrients. Check out Lobo Gardens facebook event page for more information on this project! Hope to see you there.
*The trees will be delivered next week, for now we are designing and preparing the beds. Please get involved in the process, hope to see you there!
