Hart's Forest Gardening introduces a way of working alongside nature- an approach that results in great productivity with minimal maintenance, and a method for transforming even a small cottage garden into a diverse and inviting habitat for songbirds, butterflies, and other wildlife.

By giving a platform to people of colour who are connecting with nature and working the land, this short documentary starts to unpick these questions...

This feature-length educational film teaches you how to set up your own permaculture orchard at virtually any scale.

The concepts, techniques and tips presented in this film will help you with your own project, whether it is just a few fruit trees in your urban backyard, or a full-scale multi-acre commercial orchard.
