Forest Gardening with Robert Hart

Synopsis: In the late 1960s Robert Hart had a vision of planting a small edible forest which could fulfil the needs of a healthy diet in beautiful, ecologically-sound surroundings. He based his ideas on tropical forest gardens, which combine maximum output with minimum labour. Today, his garden serves as a model of what can be achieved. Also introduced is Ken Fern, who grows 1,500 species of useful perennial plants, and Michael and Julia Guerra, whose tiny yet inspirational garden produces an abundant food supply by successfully combining the techniques of permaculture design, forest gardening and organic growing.
