Enlightenment Garden

This channel captures my journey of creating an urban fruiting landscape or food forest out of my 1/2 acre backyard in the Phoenix, Arizona area (USDA zone 9B) in the US. I'm growing over 100 edible and medicinal trees (tropical, subtropical, stone fruit trees) along with clumping bamboo, plumeria, and roses. I'm also a fig addict and have trialed over 80 varieties. This channel is for fellow gardeners in a similar hot desert climate who want to grow a garden and produce their own food. It offers tours, plant highlights, and instructional videos. For a list of plants I am growing, when I planted and where I purchased it from as well as my plant failure list, click the linked "plant" list.
