Here’s an inspiring video of a Community Food Forest workshop in Taiwan with the founders of the 7 acre Beacon Food Forest in Seattle in the US.
This is the power of community in action!

Purple sweet pea flower nodding peacefully, just an excuse to try an artistic shot with my new camera lens... 🙄 Spending time in nature, seeking to find and capture the beauty in the simplest of things that are all around us, is a great way to disconnect from our hectic artificial world and reconnect with the harmony of the natural world! 🙂 #flowers #purpleflowers #sweetpea #reconnectingwithnature #gardentherapy #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyLoquats provide the first fruit for the season in spring. These teardrop shaped fruit are the Champagne variety which have a nice fruity flavour which is a bit like champagne. Many people dismiss loquats because they have only ever tasted the seedling grown ones which taste like slightly sweet water. The cultivated varieties of loquats, which are grafted, have an incredible range of flavours are are nothing like the usually tasteless ones grown from seed. #fruit #fruitrees #loquat #champagneloquat #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyCompanion plants serve multiple purposes in a garden, they can repel pests, attract beneficial insects which eat pests, provide nectar for pollinator insects such as bees, protect plants from diseases, help plants grow, and last but not least, add a splash of colour to a garden! 🌼🐝 #flowers #companionplants #naturalpestcontrol #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyMore photos of my food forest garden in late spring, showing the diverse understory, and an Australian native finger lime in the foreground. In case you're wondering, all the pretty flowers are companion plants, herbs or other useful plants, and the purple iris flowers are Orris root plants! 🌱 #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyIn permaculture, garden edges are highly valued, as they're the boundary between different ecosystems, making them areas of greater diversity and productivity. This simple garden edge on the left has a soapwort ground cover merging into a variegated mugwort plant and a Chilean guava. To the right is another garden bed where the garden edge has several plants growing, a pink-flowering mosquito-repellent citronella scented pelargonium, Siberian ginseng, redcurrant and feverfew. Behind them is a hedged pomegranate and a trelissed pepino, while a silvanberry emerges from the far left corner out of sight to run along the fence behind #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #edgeeffect #biodiversity #gardendiversity #gardenedge #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyEven more of my permaculture food forest garden in late spring, this view along the back fence. Incidentally, the whole right hand pictured is a growing in pots! 🙂 #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyMore of my permaculture food forest garden in late spring, showing lots of vibrant growth and colour, fruit and flowers! 🙂 #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotographyThis is what a multi-sensory permaculture food forest garden looks like in late spring! In permaculture design we emulate nature, encourage biodiversity and seek to create vibrant living ecosystem that support life. #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

That is So inspiring. Sending it to a young woman in Taiwan (who’s never grown a thing in her life but has ‘the hunger’ to!). Thank you for posting this!
