An aerial view of a young Forest Garden in Senegal shows trees' ability to transform degraded landscapes. Forest Gardens are a collection of trees, shrubs, vines, vegetables, fruits, and herbs that grow harmoniously together. Forest Gardens use agroforestry and permaculture to get the most out of the land, while still giving just as much back to the land. International development organization Trees for the Future uses the Forest Garden Approach to completely transform parched, degraded land into unrecognizable, flourishing havens of biodiversity. In contrast to the more typical and overwhelmingly accepted monocrop agriculture, permaculture and Forest Gardening have positive impacts on the environment and the communities in which they are employed.
