The forest garden inspires and enables projects to unfold over long periods of time and from direct proximity to nature, responding to a journey of discovery. This was an opportunity to transform the grass lawn of a small garden into a rich wealth of diversity, incorporating precious plants inherited from family members no longer alive, in an attempt to promote biodiversity in the face of climate crisis compounded by the intensive, industrially farmed mono-crops that dominate the surrounding landscape.
