Forest Gardening and Permaculture
Forest gardening (also known as 3-Dimensional Gardening) is a food production and land management system based on replicating woodland ecosystems, but substituting trees (such as fruit or nut trees), bushes, shrubs, herbs and vegetables which have yields directly useful to humans. By exploiting the premise of companion planting, these can be intermixed to grow on multiple levels in the same area, as do the plants in a forest.” For more information go to this Wikipedia page.

Roads, Borders and Surrounding Areas
Rather than ornamental landscaping, Yellow Hills Ranch plans to evolve a forest garden in areas in and around improvements. That includes homes, agricultural buildings, roads, the common areas in the workforce housing areas, borders, and other areas.
The goal is to establish an area that beautifies the land while slowly adding to the stock of useful productive plants to support life on the Ranch. You can see how we expect the land use to eventually break down on the Project Page under the “Land Use Proposal”.
