Food Forest Starter Pack Contents
Bundle of 12 species of plant cuttings and or rooted starts (up to 20 plants total if you want two of some). All are grown organically, with love, and are pesticide-free.
Included in every bundle are the following:
2 types of Chaya, cuttings: one that blooms year-round with deeper lobes in the leaves, and a maple leaf variety with larger leaves that blooms occasionally. Edible when cooked (and delicious), loved by pollinators, drought tolerant.
Elderberry cutting: medicinal, berries used for syrups or tea, blooms used for tea, loved by pollinators.
Moringa tree cutting: edible seeds, leaves, flowers, and pods. Loved by pollinators.
Canna lily: NOT edible, drought tolerant, beautiful flowers, and great for biomass (mulch).
Cassava (yucca) cutting: root vegetable, leaves also edible cooked. Drought tolerant.
Cuban oregano cutting: herb great for cooking and juicing! Drought tolerant.
Red Turks cap hibiscus cutting: edible flowers, also good food for tortoises, blooms in sun or shade.
Surinam spinach rooted start: edible, self-sowing, heat and drought tolerant.
African blue basil cutting: herb for you - great in pesto or anything else, and pollinators love it! Drought tolerant and doesn’t mind the Florida sun.
Blue spur aka “toilet paper plant”: medicinal, herb, pollinator-friendly, and soft enough to use for your tush if needed! Drought tolerant.
Nopales or prickly pear cactus pad: fruit and paddles edible, “spineless” variety, but still has little hairs (called glochins) so use gloves when handling.
Frogfruit: native ground cover, can be mowed, pollinators love it and drought tolerant once established. GREAT replacement for your lawn / excellent for the understory of your food forest.
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS DEPENDING ON AVAILABILITY (You can choose to add these on if I’ve got them! Extra charge *only* on banana pups.)
Katuk cutting: variegated variety, edible leaves, enjoys shade - especially growing under the shade of Chaya.
Jumbie bean tree: nitrogen-fixer, good for soil AND mulch maker, easily coppiced (chop and drop and will grow back), edible leaves, pods, seeds, drought tolerant.
Banana pups! Unknown variety, but tall (up to 12-14 feet) and delicious large racks of bananas. If you dig, $5 each, if I dig, $10 each.
Price: $25. ***I LOVE BARTERING, JUST ASK!***
Why do I do this? Because I want to share the abundance that you can experience in your own yard! These plants will provide POUNDS of nutritious food within the next year - without a lot of extra care once established. I am a permaculturalist, and I do this to share wisdom and Love with others - that is all!
