Tour Forested, a 10-acre research forest garden, just outside the beltway in Maryland. See some of the hundreds of edible and useful species growing in this model agro-ecosystem, and sample some of the fruits. We’ll also have a demonstration of how to make acorn flour, a nutritious, delicious and highly productive forest food.
