The Setting
Our 3/4 acre bountiful Rewild Allotment cum Forest Garden needs some regular maintenance & spring cleaning!!
Originally set up 8 years ago as a nursery to stock other land projects around The Forest of Dean, this has now evolved into an amazing community space, Forest Garden / Food Forest used by many of The Rewild Project groups.
We have a glass house built by Shift Bristol from reclaimed materials, an outdoor kitchen, and an interesting array of edible perennials, annual polyculture crops and herbal medicinal plants.
Bonuses
Not only will you spend a day in fantastic company of The Rewild Team - going away with some new knowledge of how to set up and maintain your own forest garden, building important transferable key skills.
You will also get:
Knowledge of Forest Garden Plants for your garden.
Skills and knowledge to keep maintenance super simple yet yielding food and products
