Martin Crawford & the Agroforestry Research Trust
The two-acre demonstration forest garden that taught a generation how temperate food forests really work.
Martin Crawford is one of the world’s leading authorities on temperate forest gardening. He founded the Agroforestry Research Trust in 1992 and, beside Schumacher College at Dartington, planted a now-famous two-acre forest garden that has become a living textbook for the temperate world.
His book Creating a Forest Garden and the Trust’s plants, seeds, and courses have shaped countless projects. (A community campaign has recently rallied to protect the Dartington garden’s future — worth checking its current status before visiting.)
