During one of the many tours of the forest garden, the fact that large scale field farming is unsustainable and unnatural was explained to various people. It was very interesting to learn about vertical agriculture that people have been performing for thousands of years (no fields needed). You use the high reaching trees, and have creepers going up them, medium fruit trees under, and ground based fruit plants that spread via their roots. Among other methods.
We all did similar tasks in the small garden space, weeding and general tidying with some other bits and pieces in between.
Also, we all had tea (hawthorn and nettle from on site) and shared lunch in a gazebo, as there were many rain showers.

Celine was there also, though I can't add her. Kat not being there may be why? As I wasn't leader?
