No forest garden would be complete without its share of edible and medicinal weeds. Common Mallow, or Malva neglecta is one of my favorites. Even its Latin name 'neglata' speaks to its ability to be neglected and thrive. The leaves are mild, slightly mucilaginous and form a great foundational green in a salad. It is highly nutritious and 'nutritionally dense'. A weed is simply a plant that grows where we don't want it to, by developing a different relationship to this delightful and tenacious plant it becomes a desired resident in the forest garden.

Butterfly Milkweed / Asclepias tuberosa
This is an example of a landscaping in Minneapolis.

A retired client wanted to jazz up the entrance to her home but leave the orchard, veggie beds and hardscape the way it was. Since she does all the maintenance herself, I wanted to make sure she wouldn't have too many weeds so we used the winter months to sheet mulch the area, killing the massive amount of existing weeds & enriching the hard soil. This worked beautifully. We added a flagstone pathway with Dymondia between the stones and a small area for her new bench to sit and enjoy the garden. She didn't want plants under her messy tree, so we decorated that area with pots. She has a huge deer & gopher problem which is why she hangs the white ribbons to scare away the deer from her fruit trees.
