What's a Guild or Forest Garden?

The 52-Plant Project. Our 2026 collection of 52 plants is a blueprint for a complete, interconnected forest garden. Each month, there are 4-5 useful plants that are designed to interconnect into a year-long food forest. You can start with one plant or one guild today and add more whenever you're ready. Most plants are perennials, but if they are tender, we will give you instructions on how to preserve them until it's warm again.

Buy one plant or one guild today and start a garden. Buy all twelve guilds, and you will have an interconnected, 52-Plant Food Forest on your property.

Grow at your pace and build your forest garden.
