This document discusses establishing a forest garden in Rosengård, Malmö to improve the local environment and community. It proposes a 5-step process over 10 years to transform depleted soil by planting different layers that will attract pollinators and fertilize the soil. These layers include canopy trees, understory plants, shrubs, vines and ground cover. The forest garden design aims to be self-sustaining with no chemical inputs. Maps show how the garden could provide food for a local school. Traces of human activity and buildings in Rosengård are discussed in the context of ecological lessons.

Climax forest -the canopy.
Understory trees -in the shade of the climax forest.
Shrubs and bushes -woody plants who generally don't

Herbatious plants, none woody plants.

A Forest Garden is much more efficient and elastic than traditional agriculture. A Forest Garden maintains itself -no ploughing, no use of

In order to use the grey water from the buildings in Rosengård as a resource for the com-
munity and the forest garden it is necessary to deal with the water as a seperated source:
Greywater and Blackwater. For an easier treatment of the Blackwater in site, vacuum toi-
lets are introduced to all apartments and with this a dual plumbing system to separate grey
from black.
