Edible Forest Garden
No forest garden would be complete without its share of edible and medicinal weeds. Common Mallow, or Malva neglecta is one of my favorites. Even its Latin name 'neglata' speaks to its ability to be neglected and thrive. The leaves are mild, slightly mucilaginous and form a great foundational green in a salad. It is highly nutritious and 'nutritionally dense'. A weed is simply a plant that grows where we don't want it to, by developing a different relationship to this delightful and tenacious plant it becomes a desired resident in the forest garden.
