Video: Planting a Community Food Forest in Sudbury
Planting Sudbury's first Community Food Forest with about 60 volunteers, from grade 6 kids to adults over 70, was an amazing 3-day event with a lot of hands in the Earth. We began in fall 2016, meeting regularly with a dedicated committee to design the food forest. The "phase 1" planting this spring consisted of 17 trees, 17 shrubs and over 110 herbaceous plants.
To volunteer and stay involved in the food forest, contact Sudbury Shared Harvest.
