It is said that Food Forests & front yards don’t typically go together, especially if you are in a neighborhood with restrictions. But this food forest could truly be the envy of the block, with the smart design. At first glance – you would assume you are looking at ornamentals or natives, but truly – the majority of these beautiful perennial species are food crops!
We are about 1/2 way through our Pensacola series & you can thank this incredible edible gardener for the remainder of this series, because she will be our guide. Meet our friend Renee, another permaculture designer, who is making some great connections for other growers in the Pensacola area.

Is her Loquat fruit splitting because of high watering habits near the bananas ?
Great video and wonderful to see Renea's design–she kept reminding me of Jamie Lee Curtis 🙂
purple yam = ube!
NIce Video. I sent some plants up to Pensacola a couple of weeks ago. Did you guys buy from me? http://www.helloorganics.com
The pea eggplant is my favorite. We have a plant that's a similar size and have been raiding it 2 times a week for the last 6 months. Its an acquired taste, best for sambal.
i really dislike HOAs they have too much power over our lives…our own property…a buch of power hunger idiots!! If allow more people to use they "pretty" front loans to grow edibles we will help to cut hunger in many places!! and most of all allow the big corporations to feel the pain of no selling high unhealthy and tasteless vegetables and fruits..
I’m thrilled to find this! We plan to move to Pensacola in a few years, our son and his family live there. I want to have a garden so this series is going to be so informative for me! Thanks!
great vid
Thanks for the great video. Inspiration for us to start our own edible garden

This is all so interesting! Where would one get the unconventional perennial vegetables such as Okinawa spinach and Puerto Rican black beans? I live in St Pete, Florida. Thanks!
What was the one with cyanide?
Great job , your neighbors has to be jealous of your property . I know I am 😁
Hello from west Pensacola! I had bananas several years ago in my front yard now just roses. A meyer lemon tree in the back yard.
What was the name if that sweet edible red flower ?
You have everythings like you live in Thailand, tropical zone, as the same.
Welcome to Pensacola!
Renee I met your sister at Physical Therapy go you! I have a garden and chickens. 🙂
Super awesome garden Renee! Thanks for the video Pete! I'm now here in wewahitchka and ready to start something similar. Moved up from Sarasota where I once had a six year old food forest. Starting over entirely here but in time will be bountiful like yours! Thanks for the inspirational video tour!
beautiful yard
cherry egg plants yummy make dip
Permaculture mullet! Lol. I’m guilty of having a front yard food foreSt with a strict HOA, luckily another more respected member also created a food forest in her front yard! It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Sheep mulch? Hmmmm, is there such a thing as cat and or dog hair mulch?
I've been wanting to grow a food forest in my front yard for a long time. What do people do about their septic and drain field areas? Do they just plant on top of them? I have a bunch of fruit trees I'd love to get into the ground, but am afraid the roots would be a problem. Is there a solution?
Thank you
Awesome.
You are making a very great video Pets?❤️👍
❤💚💛
I feel so inspired!
This gives me hope. 9A
I'm so glad I do not live in a HOA neighborhood. By the way your garden looks great, but if you keep your banana plants in a circle with only 3 plants you will get a bigger yields. Thanks for sharing.
Wish I could hire these guys to design a front yard food forest for me!
Where to get seeds for the small Thai eggplant?
How is it that I love to garden, live in Pensacola very near East Hill, and have never heard of East Hill Edible Gardening?
Amazing job!
What kind of bananas are they please
Thank you for the work you do! I have enjoyed watching your videos over the last two months. You are so engaging, and I get excited to start my gardening journey. I love the tours you show us! Renee was so well-spoken, and I especially loved her bits of tips she gave us!
