I had a chance to visit the Beacon Food Forest yesterday. The forest and the P-Patch are in full bloom with promise of a great harvest to come. This was my first visit to the site in a while and is pretty amazing to see what the volunteers have accomplished.
The forest is a seven acre site on Beacon Hill to the west of Jefferson Park, 2.5 miles from downtown Seattle. Phase One (2 acres) is up and running and it looks like clearing is happening for Phase Two.
There are great views of downtown and it’s a good way to learn which permaculture plants flourish in our area.
Beautiful and functional architecture
