A Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Could Lead to a Sustainable Future | Short Film Showcase
Instead of neat rows of monoculture, forest gardens combine fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and perennial vegetables together in one seemingly wild setting. This type of agroforestry mimics natural ecosystems and uses the space available in a sustainable way. UK-based Martin Crawford is one of the pioneers of forest gardening. Starting out with a flat field in 1994, his land has been transformed into a woodland and serves as an educational resource for others interested in forest gardening. This short film by Thomas Regnault focuses on Crawford's forest garden, which is abundant, diverse, edible, and might be one answer to the future of food systems.

Forest Gardening | Living With The Land | Part 1
Tim Smit introduces Forest Gardening and we meet Martin Crawford and take a tour of his unique Forest Garden, full of unusual foods, fibres and medicinal plants and demonstrating a low intervention, natural way of growing. Centred around a key interview with Martin the film uses drone shots for never seen before vantage points of his Forest Garden and of its true resourcefulness and beauty.
What once stood as a flat field in 1994, is today a multi layered, ecosystem of trees, shrubs and ground covers, producing fruits, nuts, and medicinal products. Forest Gardening is a designed agronomic system based on trees, shrubs and perennial plants mimicking the structure of a natural forest.

The Forested Garden: What is a Food Forest?
To learn more watch the Permaculture Masterclass: https://www.discoverpermaculture.com/permaculture-masterclass-video-1
Forests are ecosystems with a diversity of plants, animals, and fungi. They were designed by nature to have perfect balance. A food forest is a version of this in which the different, balanced components produce food. When we understand how nature creates its ecosystem, we can model that with productive species to produce food sustainably, with minimum inputs for maximum outputs.
Forests have layers. At the top is the (1) canopy layer followed by (2) understory trees, (3) bushes and shrubs, and down to (4) herbaceous layers. Under the ground, there are (5) root yields, and at the surface, there are (6) groundcovers. There are also vertical layers of (7) climbers. These...

The Many Benefits of Creating a Forest Garden
Maddy and Tim Harland from Permaculture Magazine talk us through the multiple benefits of creating a forest garden.
A forest garden is working with nature's rhythms and patterns to create a low maintenance food growing space abundant in fruit, nuts, perennial edibles and herbs, both culinary and medicinal. Maddy and Tim also have biodiverse wildlife meadow filled with beneficial pollinators and insects, that works in-tune with the forest garden and the no dig raised vegetable beds.

Magical 28-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest – Growing Wild Together
Watch the prequel to this film from 2016 : https://youtu.be/6GJFL0MD9fc
In "Growing Wild Together" we return to the nearly 30-year-old permaculture food forest growing on the edge of a small town in the very south of Aotearoa New Zealand. The forest, previously an abandoned section filled with rubbish and burnt house remains, was the subject of our 2016 film An Invitation for Wildness. Now we’ve returned to find out what has changed in the forest and for the people who live there.
Robyn and Robert’s forest garden is home to countless forms of life, from trees and plants to birds, fish, and insects, and of course the humans who live amongst it all, in harmony. With time it grows wilder and wilder, “Like me,” says Robert. Since we first visited, the couple have also developed new projects,...

10 Permaculture Projects For Your Backyard
We are a diversified fruit, vegetable, and livestock farm in USDA zone 6b in Central Kentucky, USA. In this video we take a look at 10 common components often seen in Permaculture Designs that would make great projects to create in your own backyard. In permaculture the overall design is more than the sum of its parts, but here are some of the parts that can help you move toward sustainable food systems on your own property.

Incredible Permaculture Food Forest Project in Breathtaking Landscape
Get a signed copy of my NEW book The Self-Sufficiency Garden: https://www.regenerative.press/book-store/p/pre-order-self-sufficiency-garden
In this video of the inspiring gardens series, we visit the incredible Paddies project at Lawson Park which is a Japanese style food forest in the Lake District on some incredibly challenging land. Many people would think it is impossible to grow productively here, as it is acidic, has no topsoil, is extremely moist and also at a higher altitude. However, Karen Guthrie and her team have defied all odds and shown that virtually anything is possible! I really hope this story and project inspires you and your vegetable garden as much as it has for me, and that it shows what permaculture can do when applied in a challenging environment.

To learn more watch the Permaculture Masterclass: https://www.discoverpermaculture.com/permaculture-masterclass-video-1
Forests are ecosystems with a diversity of plants, animals, and fungi. They were designed by nature to have perfect balance. A food forest is a version of this in which the different, balanced components produce food. When we understand how nature creates its ecosystem, we can model that with productive species to produce food sustainably, with minimum inputs for maximum outputs.
Forests have layers. At the top is the (1) canopy layer followed by (2) understory trees, (3) bushes and shrubs, and down to (4) herbaceous layers. Under the ground, there are (5) root yields, and at the surface, there are (6) groundcovers. There are also vertical layers of (7) climbers. These layers work to occupy all the space. In designing a food forest, we use those layers to work for our benefit.
For designed food forests, the plants change from climate to climate. In the subtropics, tamarillo functions as an understory, and also within this layer are productive trees, such as feijoa, guava, and citrus. Taro, coco yam, and cassava are root yields. There are also large herbs, like bananas. The food forest would also include large support species—ice cream bean, tipuana tipu, casuarina—that support the forest by cycling nutrients, as well as understory support trees, a la acacia, leucaena, cassia, and albizzia. Most of these support species will eventually give way to large, productive species: rose apples, mulberries, jackfruit, bunya pine, pecan, and mango. The system remains very stable when all the layers are occupied.
We can plant foods by cultivating the support species at the same time as the fruit trees, then managing the support species to shelter and boost the productive species. Or, we can start just support species, but we shouldn’t start with just the productive species because it would require lots of inputs and hard work to keep them healthy. Support species can be up to 95% of the mass in the early years, and most of them will be nitrogen-fixing species. We speed their life cycle up by managing the support species, pruning when there is more rainfall than evaporation. Over time, less mass will be from support species and more from productive plants until, ultimately, the forest is 95% productive species. This is how we stack in time as well as space.
So, we are manipulating the way a forest grows, particularly speeding it up, to work in our favor. We can pollard nitrogen-fixing legumes to allow sun in during rainier times and, then, through regrowth, supply shades in drier times. We can eventually cut these legumes lower and lower to yield their space to productive species. Finally, we can cut them to ground level and remove them altogether. This is how we more rapidly feed the soil with a fallen forest.
We can also use animals to help in the process. Larger grazing animals can graze to clear areas until we put in our small plants. Chickens and ducks can come through and prepare the ground. With established trees, chicken and ducks can return to clean the area up and speed the cycle of low-lying plants. We just have to keep an eye on the system and work the animals to a planned improvement in productivity.
Food forests work as a living ecosystem, both diverse and stable. The production of soil is constant and fertility constantly growing. The production is nonstop. The system will actually replicate itself over time. This type of garden can make us the most beneficial animal on the planet, all while supplying our own needs.

Maddy and Tim Harland from Permaculture Magazine talk us through the multiple benefits of creating a forest garden.
A forest garden is working with nature's rhythms and patterns to create a low maintenance food growing space abundant in fruit, nuts, perennial edibles and herbs, both culinary and medicinal. Maddy and Tim also have biodiverse wildlife meadow filled with beneficial pollinators and insects, that works in-tune with the forest garden and the no dig raised vegetable beds.
You can learn more on creating naturally designed gardens and homes at https://www.permaculture.co.uk/

Starting a food forest can be complicated - or it can be simple. I recommend planting a food forest by starting a ton of plants from cuttings and seeds, and then planting all over, selecting out what works and chopping down what fails. By progressively thinning and creating islands of fertility (i.e. plant guilds), you can build a lot of biomass quickly and get your food forest growing fast.

Magical 28-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest – Growing Wild Together

Watch the prequel to this film from 2016 : https://youtu.be/6GJFL0MD9fc
In "Growing Wild Together" we return to the nearly 30-year-old permaculture food forest growing on the edge of a small town in the very south of Aotearoa New Zealand. The forest, previously an abandoned section filled with rubbish and burnt house remains, was the subject of our 2016 film An Invitation for Wildness. Now we’ve returned to find out what has changed in the forest and for the people who live there.
Robyn and Robert’s forest garden is home to countless forms of life, from trees and plants to birds, fish, and insects, and of course the humans who live amongst it all, in harmony. With time it grows wilder and wilder, “Like me,” says Robert. Since we first visited, the couple have also developed new projects, one of them reviving an old trade route, to help create food resilience for the nearby rural communities.
In the film, Robert says he’s convinced that the food forest model will be one of the most important models for creating a resilient future on Earth. He maintains we must learn to be loved by the forest. Here is a film to inspire love for our forests and everything they generously gift us!

We are a diversified fruit, vegetable, and livestock farm in USDA zone 6b in Central Kentucky, USA. In this video we take a look at 10 common components often seen in Permaculture Designs that would make great projects to create in your own backyard. In permaculture the overall design is more than the sum of its parts, but here are some of the parts that can help you move toward sustainable food systems on your own property.

In this video of the inspiring gardens series, we visit the incredible Paddies project at Lawson Park which is a Japanese style food forest in the Lake District on some incredibly challenging land. Many people would think it is impossible to grow productively here, as it is acidic, has no topsoil, is extremely moist and also at a higher altitude. However, Karen Guthrie and her team have defied all odds and shown that virtually anything is possible! I really hope this story and project inspires you and your vegetable garden as much as it has for me, and that it shows what permaculture can do when applied in a challenging environment.
