An Establishing Forest Garden
Here's a section of contoured planting in Phronesis, our newest Forest Garden. This is the Fourth season after planting began, with new plants added every Spring and Autumn. We're planting directly into the meadow, as it is already rich in support species that attract pollinators and pest predators, and it is composed of many medicinal and culinary herbs.
We started by planting the canopy layer, then shrubs, herbs, ground cover, and finally bulbs. Not labelled but included between the tree contour rows is a biomass/support strip with the following nitrogen fixing shrubs -
Elaeagnus x ebbingei - Ebbinge's silverberry
Elaeagnus angustifolia - Russian Olive
Elaeagnus umbellata - Autumn Olive

"It's green graffiti, but all with the purpose of making the world a better place."

How can guerilla foresters can help save "phantom forests"?
Phantom forests refer to the remains of tree planting initiatives that have either completely failed or not happened at all, because the trees have died or have been lost to deforestation.
Maybe these kinds of initiatives can be legal means for those who do care. Ask the guerillas who live there who want a forest.
