Description of Mom's Delight Demo Food Forest Garden:

Installed in 2017, this backyard food forest has 19 fruit trees pruned annually to 5 feet, making it easier to access the fruit. The majority of the trees are watered by rain funneled into a swale, while others are watered from the laundry-to-landscape greywater system. An automatic drip system is used during the dry periods. All the fruits are shared with neighbors, friends and family. Additional plantings of salvia and calendula draw in honey bees and hummingbirds.

We strongly encourage carpooling for ease of travel and for the company of (new or old) friends!
