    Permaculture in Practice

    Ecologically sound living—by design

    This DVD, whose aim is to inspire people to start their own permaculture projects, shows how permaculture is practiced in four very different settings: a Hampshire back garden belonging to the editors of Permaculture Magazine, including fruit trees, vegetables, bees, chickens, and ducks; a City Challenge project in Bradford close to a housing estate with 10,000 residents, tackling the problems of unemployment, environmental awareness, and backyard food growing; a community co-op in Devon, which involves a café, allotments, and local composting scheme; and a small farm in the Forest of Dean where innovative marketing schemes ensure a close link between producer and consumer, including meat production, a vegetable box scheme, and locally produced charcoal.

    Forest Gardening - DVD

    with Robert Hart

    Some 45 years ago, the late Robert Hart had a vision of planting a small food-producing forest that could fulfill the needs of a healthy diet and at the same time create a beautiful and ecologically sound environment. Having explored Hart’s practical and philosophical ideas, this film goes on to look at two other projects inspired by the principles of forest gardening and perennial vegetable growing.
