Israeli Thicket in Ramat Gan National Park
The emphasis in this forest is to rehabilitate approx. 1.4 acres in a profound manner; what was once a neglected plot now becomes biologically diverse Israeli woods. This forest fills us with special pride because we’ve utilized practices not usually considered in large-scale public projects. For example, improvement of the soil, use of mulch, significant reduction of the pesticide quantities, insertion of a huge amount of bulbs and geophytes into the land, etc.
We thank the park management, which took the path to rehabilitation of the land and restoration of the rich nature there once was, together with us. And many more to come!

Petah Tikva Food Forest
An area that combines a food forest and a vegetable garden, the fruit of the labor of many residents but first and foremost one leader, who dreamt of creating a green communal space.
She approached the municipality in order to receive land for the project, and contacted us once she was approved. We started off with the landscaping, which included a shared process with the public, so it provides the most beneficial response to the needs and wants of the community. We were happy to accompany the actual implementation process of the forest and vegetable garden, as well as lead the community tree planting ceremony.
Today, there are five vegetable gardens, tens of fruit trees, and a community that regularly comes by to roll up their sleeves and take care of the place.
Food Forest in Nitzan Hof Ashkelon School
