Yvonne's Visit 1998 our Food Forest was established. Yvonne was one of the main people who provided knowledge and support in setting up our Food Forest. There are many different varieties of food plants that are regularly eaten by the students at Peria. At the moment we are eating peaches, figs and grapes. Yvonne came to remind us of the important rules of the Food Forest, keep on the path, if you pick it you eat it, don't climb fruit trees, be careful when picking fruit.
