Peter and Fran Ellington attended a weekend course at the Agroforestry Research Trust in Totnes, Devon to get some ideas on planning, designing and maintaining a forest garden. We hope to incorporate these ideas into the final design of our garden.
The course included a visit to an established forest garden.
