Agroforestry tours

[Liz Turner]

Hi All

This year we have coming up some tours of our agroforestry project in South Devon. A great chance to learn about our forest garden, alley cropping & more (see below), including the challenges we encountered, the successes and over 50 species of edible or otherwise useful plants.

 

Here are the details:

 

Date/time: 9 May, 20 June, 18 July, 10.30-1. – the day after Martin Crawford’s (Agroforestry Research Trust) Forest Garden workshops. A great opportunity to immerse yourself twice over in forest gardening & agroforestry.

 

Location: Discover Forest Foods, Beeson, South Devon.

 

Cost: £10 booking essential. Perennial kale cuttings to take away.

 

An opportunity to see a 3 acre agroforestry project based on an organic farm in a maritime climate. We have a 1-acre forest garden & 2 acres of orchards divided by alleys. Plus windbreaks, large pond, raised beds, living willow fences and composting. There is a large range of fruit trees and shrubs, plus some other useful perennials - but main focus is trees. As well as fruit, we have a nut orchard, native edible/medicinal hedge, wood trees and craft trees.

 

Best wishes
