Living with the Land: Film Series Partners

Narrated by Sir Tim Smit KBE, creator of The Eden Project

Martin Crawford, pioneering forest gardener, introduces us to his beautiful Forest Garden full of food, fibres and medicinal plants in South Devon.

Centred around a key interview with Martin, the film uses drone shots for never seen before vantage points of his garden.

What once stood as a flat field in 1994, is today a multi layered, ecosystem of trees, shrubs and ground covers, producing fruits, nuts, and medicinal products. Forest Gardening is a designed agronomic system based on trees, shrubs and perennial plants mimicking the structure of a natural forest.
