Planting rain, community, & ecology in the hood

Discover how to create a vibrant, food-producing, and wildlife-friendly neighborhood native plant forest with free irrigation strategies and forested traffic calming. This video showcases how even in the Sonoran Desert, roof & street runoff can be utilized for free water WITHOUT TANKS or pipes, promoting sustainable living and green infrastructure. Learn about how to foster a thriving rain-irrigated native food forest in your community, along with how to better identify and encourage multi-use native plants (the plants that co-evolved with your local climate, soils, & wildlife), while removing the invasive non-native plants.
