I’ve heard good things about the Amelanchier × lamarckii too in context of food forests! Space is rare though so I’m not sure yet what else to get. I’m not actively converting the lawn other than not mowing it except for 1-3 times a year, it’s more that I started with the trees and am continuously expanding from there, plus some shrubs here and there and the hedge. There’s some clover already but actively converting feels like a lot of work which I’m trying to avoid.

I’m just starting and the patch of land is pretty small, but I’m trying to get a mini food forest going in our frontyard in Northern Germany.

There’s 4 trees (mirabelle, plum, apricot, pear) to which I finally planted “companions” a few days ago, a small hedge consisting of insect friendly shrubs, some Blueberry plants. Also a Magnolia, Cherry Laurel (leftover from former owners) and another unidentified big shrub. Also some flowers here and there, but most of it is still (former, unmown) lawn which is going to be converted step by step.
