Advice for beginner in Illinois?


Hi! I’m brand new to gardening and permaculture in every way but would like to start making plans for a low-maintenance, all-native forest garden in my backyard in northern Illinois. Does anyone have ideas for what plants I should start with? I’d love to have as many as possible be things I can also eat in order to reduce dependence on non-local foods. I do have a decent amount of space but I’m wary of getting in over my head. There’s a lot of info out there and it’s very hard to sort through and figure out how to actually begin! Also trying to be budget conscious, which makes things even trickier.

I’m also curious folks’ thoughts on starting a small indoor winter garden with growth lights?
