## Caption

Have you heard of a food forest? It’s a way of growing edibles that mimics natural forest ecosystems. Different types of food-bearing plants — trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals — are carefully selected and arranged to create a cohesive, relatively self-sustaining system from the ground to the treetops. Asparagus is a great ground crop!

Food forests are inviting spaces for kids and help them make connections between food, health, and the environment.

There are many ways to design a food forest with focus on layers, climate, size of space, etc. Head to the link in our profile to see our new Gardening Basics guide for food forests.
