Lawns are becoming a thing of the past. They don’t feed your family, your soil, or your ecosystem. A food forest, on the other hand, does all three.
When you grow an ecosystem or a food forest instead of a lawn with decorations, you're building a living system that produces fruit, herbs, medicine, attracts pollinators, improves soil health, enhances the local ecosystem, and even reduces maintenance over time because you are working with nature, not against it.
To help you get started, I created a simple FREE printable workbook full of easy-to-follow worksheets and reference charts.
Whether you’re planning a small backyard orchard or a full permaculture landscape, this guide will walk you through the basics of how to:
Choose the right companion plants for your fruit and nut trees
Understand the different forest layers and what they do
Place elements like water tanks, gardens, sheds, and animal pens in the right spots
Simply:
Download and print the workbook.
Fill out the worksheets as you plan your landscape.
Use the reference charts to guide your plant and design choices.
This is a hands-on, beginner-friendly tool to help you design with purpose and grow a yard that gives back.
