The Magic of Microforests

What if you could plant a forest in your own backyard?

Microforests (also called pocket forests or Miyawaki forests) are dense, layered plantings of native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers designed to regenerate ecosystems fast. They mimic the structure of a real forest but in a tiny footprint.

At Back to Roots, we love microforests because they:

• Grow 10x faster than conventional tree planting
  

• Sequester carbon and rebuild soil
  

• Attract birds, bees, butterflies, and fungi
  

• Create shade, shelter, and seasonal beauty
  
  

And maybe most importantly, they belong. They bring that deep, rooted energy into your space, even in the middle of the city.

A 10x10 patch can hold multitudes: oak, sumac, elderberry, goldenrod, and more. Want to plant one? We can help you choose species, prep the soil, and bring a little forest magic home.
