Discover the Art of Forest Gardening: A Hands-On Introduction to Growing Abundance in Any Space 🌿

Curious about forest gardening and whether it's for you? This short course is the perfect place to start. Forest gardening is an ancient, sustainable way of growing food and medicine by mimicking natural woodland ecosystems—and no, you don’t need a forest to do it! Whether you have a large garden, a small backyard, or even just a few square meters, this approach can help you grow a resilient, diverse, and beautiful edible landscape.

During the session, we’ll explore the principles behind forest gardening and how they can be adapted to our temperate climate. You’ll learn:

🌱 What a forest garden actually is and why it’s so effective
🌿 What a plant guild is and how to create your own
🍓 Which edible and medicinal plants thrive in our climate
🛠️ How to plan and begin building your own forest garden—no matter your space

We’ll also take a short guided tour of Vallis Farm for inspiration, share warm drinks and snacks, and you’ll leave with detailed course notes to support you on your journey.

Cost: £50 – includes refreshments, a farm tour, and all course materials.

Perfect for gardeners, growers, dreamers, and doers—come connect with nature, learn something new, and start planting the future. 🌿
