Food Forest Documentary:
Independent Screening & Group Discussion

In this documentary, landscape architect Louis De Jaeger outlines how food forests save the earth from suffocation, resuscitate communities, make agriculture sustainable, reverse global warming and still produce an abundance of food.

This film is a journey of discovery through the secret gardens of food forest pioneers. Louis's captivating journey leads past pioneers and examples, from urban jungles to healing projects in psychiatric institutions.

Because nature appears to be the best healer for social, psychological and ecological scars that people cause. If we give nature's resilience a chance, we can create a new Eden together. In fact, pieces of this new paradise are already visible.
