After more than a year in the dreaming and planning stages, we are finally actively working on building this site. We have been doing research online and corresponding by email for a long time and have collected hundreds of web links to information on dozens of promising plants. But all of that information doesn't do anyone any good stuck in my browser favorites. This site will give us a place to list and categorize all of that information and present it in a way that makes it easy for you to find useful plants for your forest garden site. In addition to that, we are building-in a garden journaling system that will give you a place to keep notes on the plants that you grow, and - more importantly - will allow you to benefit from the experience of other people who are growing the same plant.

There is a lot of work to be done to fill the plant database with helpful information on all the great plants that we're learning about that thrive in the forest garden, and we look forward to your contributions. Together, we can build this into a truly useful online reference for the many people who will be starting a forest garden in the near future.
