Picture the scene: a dense forest of countless native trees, a thick canopy shading a nearly invisible ground blanketed by shrubs and plants in a state of nature brimming with life. Now, picture the same thriving in a suburban neighbourhood. The forest is the size of a tennis court - you could encircle it in a matter of seconds - and it has grown to almost six metres in little more than a year.
The tiny forest is a complete native ecosystem - hundreds, almost 1000 native trees and shrubs planted in a dense matrix calculated to perfectly reflect the sprawling natural environment in which it (somewhat literally) jumped out of the ground - but it takes up about the same amount of space as a suburban garage.
