Forest gardening

Forest gardening is a type of gardening where you grow lots of different plants and trees together in one area. It is like creating a mini-forest in your garden. Forest gardening uses trees, shrubs, and flowers to grow food and plants. It is a great way to use nature to help you grow healthy and nutritious food. In a forest garden, different plants work together to create a healthy ecosystem. The trees provide shade for the smaller plants and flowers, and if the garden has a stream or pond the water can help bring different kinds of plants, insects, and fungi to the garden. All of these things work together to keep the garden healthy. Forest gardening also helps to protect the environment since the plants don't need to be sprayed with any chemicals.
