High on the Mendip plateau, a fifteen-minute drive through the lanes from Rob’s forest garden, lies Sharon’s newly established, one-acre food forest.
Inspired by Rob’s design, planned by Adam Croft, and implemented by Sharon herself, Rob shows us around this edible landscape, a mix of new & old, and very much a work in progress (like any garden!)
Rob is fortunate enough to be able to work here every Tuesday at the moment, using his hard-earned trial & error agroforestry knowledge to help Sharon’s vision come to fruition.
Presented and recorded by Rob Handy.

Thanks for a lovely video showing the new forest garden. So nice to see a natural approach rather than fighting nature. Yesterday we were in our mixed Wood just appreciating nature in all its glory. Also giving our rooted Christmas tree a new perminant home.
Wonderful, thanks Rob, always inspiring x
A lovely antidote to a wet day here…a question…does Sharon have to be careful re old lead mining residue? Best wishes, Jinxy
I always enjoy your videos. Very relaxing.
What a lovely visit!! 🍄🍇🍒 Thanks, Rob! I was enjoying the birdsong as well, mixed in with the rooster calls! 🐓 Didn't hear the turkey, sadly. I'll look forward to seeing Ms Sharon featured; hope it's soon! Have a blessed day! ✨️☀️🌷
A broken hedge trimmer? What a bummer. That doesn't fit well in your idyllic world. 😉
But, so cool to see what you're up to. I've never seen a keyhole bed. Very interesting. And, more interesting is the length of the video, 11:11. That number has been grabbing my attention since 2015.
Have a super blessed day, Mr. Rob.
Just beautiful.
I would of liked to have watched you going to Wells, seeing what you got up too
Hi again Rob, I really liked the idea of adding name markers to bamboo canes – why didn't I think of that! The fruit bushes in this garden are lovely and lush too – as is your wonderful views. I'm growing blueberry and loganberry in large pots in my small town garden, It's quite magical to see the buds and leaves appear from a few sticks! Thanks for your video and it's good to see you.
What an amazing property Rob. So many delicious things to eat growing in that place. Two fruits I haven’t had since I was a child are gooseberries and locquats. Looking forward to your next video.
It's looking really good. Such amazing progress in such a short time frame. I can't wait to see the next video.
I love the mown paths. Beautiful.
😀
