Only a few blackberries in season in August, but a cool idea for a park resource.

There are an absolutely bonkers amount of blackberry and elderberry bushes here. Lots of other good stuff too, grapes, apples, paw paws, currants, raspberries. There were still lots of blackberries today near the end of August.

What a wonderful place to visit. Beautiful design to the plantings. Love the perennials chosen for the forest.The pavilion is quite nice, for picnics or outdoor events. We were here for a grafting class on a cool overcast day. Plenty of room for a group.Porta-potties are the only option for restrooms. Its simple but less than ideal.In a quiet area of Normal. Not too far from residential area, and a few businesses. Quite lovely as a site, and definitely a pleasant addition.Looking forward to returning later as the place greens up and the berries are producing.

Great place to meet with family, friends and co-workers!

Wonderful idea and great location...only problem was I was too early to harvest anything of note. Looking forward to harvesting other things (raspberries, notably) and possibly finding time to volunteer.

Hope in next 2-3 years, it will become a great attraction in Normal for people to establish a healthy and greener lifestyle. This should get bigger for common good of the community.

This place is amazing. Come pick some free food or just visit and check out what a sustainable local food system can look like and feel like.

A neat little garden/forest! It needs a bit of love, but it’s a fantastic addition to the community.

Great to walk around and pick and eat berries

Very nice!!

More like it should exist
