A new seven-acre urban project, The Beacon Food Forest, aims to mimic a woodland ecosystem with edible shrubs, trees, and plants in Seattle. Set to be the largest public food forest in the country, the landscape will feature chestnuts, walnuts, apple and mulberry trees, berry shrubs, vegetables, and a selection of herbs.

Grounded in the concept of permaculture, the food forest will be a perennial and self-sustaining edible garden for all visitors to enjoy thanks to a $100,000 local government grant. Learn more about the project here. 

While foraging and edible gardens are hardly new themes, we love how the concept inspires communities to gather, grow, and indulge.
