Creating our Permaculture Food Forest Garden

Creating our Permaculture Food Forest Garden

We have lived in rented accommodation all our married life – all twenty years as I write this in March, 2021 – and all we've longed for is a place of our own to grow a food forest garden. Renting makes it impossible to feel settled and secure and I've just played half-heartedly at trying to be self-sufficient. We've learned over the years that you can be booted out of rented housing at the drop of a hat and putting all the effort into building a permaculture garden that you could have to leave with a month's notice is too much for me.
