"Went on a permaculture course at the weekend - Di’s such a knowledgeable teacher, she’s the kind of person you’d like to mind-meld with… If you’re interested in sustainability I can only recommend Wild Harvest School of Self-Reliance"

"Had a lovely day learning about Permaculture .... from a smooth transaction to purchase and good instructions of how to find the location, to a warm-friendly welcome that greeted us; first impressions were already great. No matter what your level of knowledge, Di delivers engaging information in a way that captures your mind and leaves you wanting to get home and start creating your own haven of self-reliance. With a lovely cosy cabin to sit and learn, amongst a view where the practical element of Permaculture is becoming evident on the farm; it is a brilliant experience. We are looking forward to booking Foraging next"

"Thank you for yesterday, the day was a really interesting and I am hoping to change a few things in our garden if I can convince my husband. I think the first thing we will do is make a wild area. I will keep checking your site for other events. "

Can I Bring My Dog?
To the wild food walks yes, well behaved dogs on leads are welcome. To the tipi site... Sorry we love animals but we. have a free range sheep, hens and an old labrador. Plus we have a policy of no animals in the units to keep them feeling fresh and ok for allergy sufferers. We are down the road from Storwood Kennels if you need pet boarding.
