Mandala Garden
Imago Forest is based on the mandala design developed by permaculturalist Linda Woodrow in her book "The Permaculture Home Garden".
It is a circular design that when fully operational will feed 20 people their fruit and vegetable needs throughout the year from only one sixth of a hectare. The mandala at Imago Forest contains:
- 42 vegetable beds (4m diam)
- Three chook domes (10 chooks each)
- 31 different fruit trees
- Seven ponds
- Many compost piles
- An increasing number of perennial plants such as lavender, rosemary, arrowroot, asparagus etc as a border.
