During our Earth Day celebrations, we shared a lot of great information on the benefits of Forest Gardens. These gardens can be greatly enhanced through the use of aquaculture - adding a pond. Take a look at this wonderful video from the folks at Permaculture Artisans. It's great! And, don't forget that ponds make great homes for frogs and toads. These little guys are not only incredible pest control agents, they are also invaluable indicators of the health of your garden. You can find out more about Permaculture Artisans here.

One of the most inspiring concepts for sustainable food production, on a large scale or a small backyard garden, is that of 3-dimensional gardening. Instead of simply growing outward in flat horizontal structuring, imagine a garden that is both horizontal and vertical with multiple layers of plant growth all working together in perfect Balance and Harmony. If you can imagine this, then you have imagined a Forest Garden. You can learn more about them and see examples of different types of Forest Gardens in our "Articles and Other Things" area.
