Forest Garden Shovelstrode will be an inspirational place for people to learn about the principles of Forest Gardening and woodland crafts. There will also be ‘Back to Nature’ camping facilities available either in our Yurt or on one of the freestyle camping pitches in the 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 will also restore and manage the adjacent existing ancient woodland of 3.7acres. A wildlife pond is planned to further increase the local biodiversity.
We will be planting the main structure of the Forest Garden throughout the course of 2010. and we plan to offer a range of forest gardening and woodland craft courses from spring 2011. |
