Inspired by one of the oldest known food forests in the world - abandoned but still thriving in the deserts of Egypt - this garden brings together North African, Persian and Middle Eastern favorites for a beautiful balance of delicate flavors and robust foliage.

A handsome blend of drought tolerant food producing trees and understory herbs, flowers and fruit that can survive with less water when shaded by the overhead canopy.
