Forest Garden Shovelstrode is an inspirational place for people to learn about the principles of Forest Gardening and woodland crafts. There are ‘Back to Nature’ camping facilities available in our Yurts set in ancient woodland.
The project involves the creation of a Forest Garden on the 0.7acre site of a vacant paddock where we will harvest a range of healthy food. We have restored and managed the adjacent existing ancient woodland of 3.7acres. A wildlife pond has been created to further increase the local biodiversity.
We will be planting the main structure of the Forest Garden throughout the course of 2011. A range of woodland craft courses are due to start in May 2011.
