“A glorious garden of Eden high up on the Downs.”
Entry to the forest garden is free.
Come and discover wild abundant forest gardens.
The forest garden was designed and created with permaculture principles around 15 years ago. Where wildlife and human life work exist together.
Marc Stenham has nurtured and tended to Forest Garden turning an acre paddock into an inspirational bountiful wild landscape.
The plants in the garden are an unusual mix of edibles, medicinals, nitrogen fixers and wildlife promoters. Marc’s current favourite is the cardoon, it has so many uses.
