Samuel’s Elementary now has a Food Forest! 🌲🌳 See what it’s all about below:
The Food Forest is a project that is meant to engage community interaction, while producing food for the community to share. It is a great way for the community to learn, interact, and enjoy the great outdoors.
Creating a Food Forest helps to reduce our resource usage through eliminating turf grass and enriching our world through the planting of trees. It also creates a new, more diverse and sustainable eco-system.
Want to help grow our Food Forest? DM us for more info! 🪴
