A community project for growing food and other useful materials, learning skills, socialising and caring for personal wellbeing - all enjoyably - and all to contribute to a compassionate and sustainable future for humanity. We host volunteers, courses and cu ltural activities/events and conduct tours.
A 4.5 acre site with some sea wind. It is on the NE side of a valley that is not steeply sloping at the top and with no tall trees to the SE, S, SW or W, i.e. we still get plenty of sun. In steeply sloping in areas we are making terraces. We are developing shelter belts around mixed fruit tree orchards inter-planted with other food producing plants including bushes, perennials, self-seeders and vines. Inter-planting includes edible and medicinal herbs, plants good for bees and other pollinators, plants that attract insect predators of insect pests or birds that eat pests, plants that fix nitrogen and plants useful for chop and drop/mulching/compost. We have a compost loo and a shelter.
Volunteers usually usually come along on Mondays and Wednesdays, weather permitting, and there are occasional advertised sessions for a special activity or sessions with specific visiting groups. The times of sessions sometimes vary, so folk need to contact us via the e-mail above to initially arrange to come along. We are gradually developing the site to have more facilities and to provide for more activities - e.g. a better indoor space, a nature trail and a bird hide. We started a CIC to support this project, which is for it's own sake and to inspire the creation of more forest gardens. Red Heart Tree CIC
