"...The end product was a well-balanced and designed forest garden, which I would have never had achieved on my own....Lincoln’s knowledge goes beyond books; he has actual hands-on experience, is easy to work with, delivers on-time and produces a quality product. I would highly recommend him for anyone that is considering developing an approach to garden/orchard agriculture that is much more sustainable than conventional methods." -Stan K.

Forested’s first project with DC Transportation Department was planted spring 2019 around Capital City Public Charter school in a partnership between DDOT and the school.
