An interview with yours truly at Holma Forest Garden in Southern Sweden during my visit in early May. Filmed and produced by Jim Nilsson who did an excellent job I think :) The interviewer is Eric Karlsson!

Below are a few pictures I took of early spring in the this great Forest Garden:
Blanched Hablitzia shoots
Blanched Hablitzia shoots
Bistort (Polygonum bistorta)
Claytonia sibirica, a nice edible shade lover, but a bit invasive!
Garlic being grown as a perennial
Lilium martagon is one of the best sources of carbohydrates in the lower levels of the forest garden
Mallows (Malva moschata)
Proud to see Barstow’s copse coming along well…many of the plants in my book will be planted here…
In the centre of the forest garden is a communal area!
Outside the deer proof fence are planted day lilies!
As we prepared to do the interview, the smoke kept on blowing into our faces… ;)
Perennial vegetables, Edimentals (plants that are edible and ornamental) and other goings on in The Edible Garden
