A forest garden is an ecosystem. It mimics the layers of a woodland edge, with canopy trees, fruit trees, shrubs, herbs, ground cover and roots. The forest gardener is part of this system, adding edible and useful plants to the various layers. As the garden matures the gardener observes which plants thrive. Some plants will move in from the neighborhood and some will take the opportunity to revive, as the amount of weeding and bare earth are reduced. A forest garden is full of plants, like a woodland edge.
