Once completed, the VASS Food Forest, through Andrew’s* design will operate on several levels.
Firstly, it will provide the staff and residents here at VASS with fresh fruit and vegetables. It will provide us all with a haven to enjoy in all weather.
On another level. it will inspire people and communities everywhere to design their own Food Forest; reaping the rewards of growing their own fresh produce and enjoying creating new communities where peace, fun and harmony predominate.
To get this project going we need some coconuts. A coconut is a large seed. That coconut could be your trust fund, an organisation, a philanthropist or you personally. The contribution of a large amount to our Food Forest is a coconut.
When you invest or plant this coconut in our Food Forest, you will get great satisfaction knowing you have played a major role in inspiring communities everywhere to design their own Food Forest with all the benefits that derive from them doing their own Food Forest design.
Others, inspired by your foresight, will be inspired to follow your example and also invest, generating the money needed to build these amazing forests everywhere, starting at VASS.
