I am a forest gardening and permaculture grower, consultant, trainer and researcher. My journey started over 20 years ago, and since then I have worked with private clients, community groups, companies and NGOs across the UK and Europe. My current focus is on forest gardening, and I have produced the most up-to-date review of the subject with the book “Forest Gardening in Practice”. I live on a 7-acre smallholding in Herefordshire, which is managed as a co-housing project.
My work to date has included private urban and rural gardens, commercial and amenity woodlands, wildlife reserves and ecological restoration sites. For me a participative and enabling approach is important and, wherever possible, I integrate training into my consultancy. This empowers people to make their own management decisions and take control of the maintenance of their site or project. Another client close to my heart is the land itself. In practical terms this means I ensure that my designs achieve the best possible outcomes not just for the people involved, but also for local soil, water, wildlife and plant communities.
