Pakradouni designed and built L.A.'s first micro forest at Griffith Park for the Los Angeles Parks Foundation with funding from the Hancock Park Garden Club. Pakradouni adapted his method for Southern California's Mediterranean climate, using plants native to the region. Resist the urge to rake up leaf litter and branches in your micro forest because it provides valuable shelter and food, especially for insects and birds. Plan and prep for your micro forest now but wait until late fall or winter to plant for best success. You'll never need to mow or blow again in your micro forest.
