In the Barnum community in Denver, a city has become a so -called food forest.
In the warm months, trees and bushes contain fruits such as pears and berries. The honeycomb bees buzzed, and encouraged people to relax in a cool place and eat anything they like.
Lipsius: “This is a real community visit. Therefore, once these trees are produced, anyone can come to harvest and enjoy bounty.”
Linda Appel Lipsius led the non -profit Denver city garden, which supervised 24 of them.
Food forest improves the opportunity to obtain healthy food in the community and helps the community adapt to climate change.
The shadow of the forest and green plants are not as hot as the surrounding concrete and asphalt, which helps keep the neighborhood cool, even if it becomes hotter in summer.
Lipsius: “You walk into a garden, it is much cool … … the bird is singing instead of the concrete outside.”
Denver Urban Gardens has recently obtained funds for planting nine food forests in West Denver, most of which have suffered from lack of grocery stores and green space.
Therefore, food forests will provide residents for urgent shadows and fresh local food.
