Food forest

A food forest is like a forest where the trees, bushes, and plants are all food that you can eat! Just like you have different types of trees in a regular forest like oak, maple, and pine, in a food forest you have different types of food plants like apple trees, blueberry bushes, and carrots.

Food forests are special because they try to create a balance in nature so that everything can grow naturally without too much human interference. Just like birds and insects help regular forests grow by spreading seeds and pollinating flowers, in a food forest we try to use nature's own ways to help plants grow without adding too much chemicals or doing anything unnatural.

By having different types of edible plants in our food forest, we can also help protect the soil and environment. Different types of plants grow together in harmony and can help each other by attracting insects that eat pests, or adding nutrients to the soil. This helps us grow healthy and delicious food without harming the environment.

So if you ever see a food forest, know that it's not just a regular forest but a very special place where we can grow food in harmony with nature!
