Can a third of an acre really sustain a thriving, productive food forest?
In short: Huw Richards visits a compact forest garden in Hampshire, England, to demonstrate that significant food production and wildlife support do not require vast amounts of land. This video explores the practical results of a small-scale permaculture project managed by the founders of Permaculture Magazine.
The forest garden, established by Tim and Maddy Harland, occupies only one-third of an acre. Despite its small footprint, the site serves as a dense, diverse ecosystem that provides both human food and a habitat for wildlife to flourish.
By documenting their journey, the Harlands have spent years observing the specific successes and failures of their planting strategies. The site stands as a testament to the potential of permaculture design to transform limited space into a productive, beautiful paradise.
