What do you expect to see at the food forest
A food forest is open 24/7 and is filled with food…
Over 40 types of heritage apples, pears, nectarines, lemons, limes, olives, feijoa, apricots, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, veges and herbs to name a few. Anyone is welcome to come and forage, however we ask that you “take what you need and not what you want” please consider others.
Please do not dig up any plants or trees please… the food forest is a community lead project, run by dedicated volunteers, to benefit the community and everyone that visits. There have been over 4500 trees and plants donated to this community project.
The Food Forest is a great place to visit and picnic, it has loads of sheltered areas along with very cool creative seating, small playhouse, a pirate boat…
Look out for our many workshops on propogation, pruning, grafting, food forest design by visiting our Food Forest facebook page
