    I really like that you have so many flowers, also wild ones, in your garden. Something I try to do myself even though they at times do take up a lot of space, but when I see grasshoppers or a swallowtail butterfly it makes up for the lost space. Especially liked your Onopordum acanthium close to the walnut tree, such a beautiful plant.

    Brilliant

    Thank you for sharing this part of your garden plan with us. It is so interesting to see how you are progressing with your forest. have a lovely week. Catherine

    I really enjoy seeing the various parts of your garden. Had to laugh though, at the mullein. Where I hike here it is considered an invasive species and they had a big "pull" this weekend, removing over 6100 plants! I was wondering if you have taken any sort of permaculture design course that you recommend? Looking into taking one very soon.

    Garden goals! So beautiful and well thought out!

    Love the video! Could you share more about your shrub layer and what kinds of shrubs you would recommend, including the pros and cons of each? Thank you so much!

  7. Amy Jones says:

    I'm not familiar with the plant to your right at the very end. What is it please?

    This is our first year at our new garden area and I recently discovered the tree guild / food forest concept. It's been a lot of fun finding plants to add to ours. We have plum and fig trees so far with serviceberry, false indigo, and lavender just to name a few. We have rhubarb we need to plant as well. We're really enjoying your videos!

    Nice and informative video!
    I wonder how do you propagate the Good-King-Henry as my attempts to grow it from seeds have not been successful so far.

    Food forest is a 7 layer system.
    Canopy (large fruit and nut trees)
    Low tree layer
    Shrub layer
    Herbaceous layer
    Rhizoshere layer (root crops)
    Soil surface
    Vertical layer (climbers/vines)
