Forest Gardening Diploma FAQ

Our aim in forest garden design is for a state of ‘regeneration’ of the earth’s natural life systems. Not only do we aim to maintain and sustain biological systems – here we aim to improve them!

We plan for cultural shifts in the face of climate change, diminished fossil fuel supply, and economic turns – in our communities across the globe, in our local bioregions, and at home. We employ techniques and strategies for renewing earth systems, work that is deeply connected to renewal.
