This is why it's important to keep seeds free, open-pollinated. It is vital to keep sowing and saving seeds in our gardens. Local community seed banks must flourish and know of each other to exchange, both knowledge of seeds and seeds to grow.

A place of teaching, learning, resilience and hope for a vast network of people around Europe and the world. This place simply cannot be taken away for some "financial investment efficiency" plan. Martin Crawford's work deserves respect as a long lasting legacy and vital effort for life on earth.

Good day for a walk around Martin Crawford's forest garden at Dartington today. Edible, fragrant and unusual things lurking in between the trees, including edible tree leaves. Revelation of the day I hadn't tried before - sweet cicely seeds. Lovely aniseedy flavour like fennel.
Lush green growth in a woodland with trees and shrubs at different heights. White umbelliferous flowers of sweet cicely with seed heads, long, green and tapered at both ends.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism.
What the hell is going on?

Please have a little virtual wander into the wonder that is the forest garden the Dartington Trust wants to kick out (and there's lots of associated work that goes with it, at the Agroforestry Trust run by Martin Crawford). Short film from 6 years ago:

Les plantes boivent par les feuilles. Souvent réfuté alors qu'on reconnaît l'utilité des "fertilisants" foliaires, aspersion et mouillage des feuilles en cas de sècheresse.

We had a chat with Food Studies professor @fparasecoli.bsky.social about gastronativism (the “ideological use of food in politics to advance ideas about who belongs to a community”) and it turned into a fascinating conversation about “us”, “them”, food, politics, and systemic thinking. Have a read!

Tanguy's gardening and beekeeping skills are rooted in nonsense "French style" natural techniques where mixing and interplanting a wide range of varieties in "non neat" growing areas is central. So-called "jardin de curé", an adaptable, joyful and productive mess.
