Forest gardening is a way of working with Nature which is not only productive & requires minimal maintenance but creates great environmental benefits. As Herbert Girardet says in his Foreword Robert Hart was a rare person.. . For decades he waged a lonely battle for life patiently writing books & articles & quietly planting trees on his small farm in Shropshire. Robert created a magnificent forest garden which had a profound influence on the way people have cultivated their own l&. It was a garden dedicated to human needs for fruit nuts vegetables & plant medicines. But it was at the same time a celebration of the myriad interactions of life; for it was based on profound observations both intuitive & scientific of how different life forms interact in order to stimulate & support one another.""
