Mastercrafts – BBC2 TV series with Monty Don

Charles recently appeared in the BBC2 TV series Mastercrafts in which he spent 6 weeks in the woods in Dorset learning the skills of Greenwooding. Amongst other things Charles made a ladder back chair and a rocking chair from unseasoned ash. The skills he gained have been invaluable for his current project: Forest Garden Shovelstrode.

Forest Garden Shovelstrode – Eco Tourism Project

Charles is currently designing a Forest Garden in Sussex over a 5 acre site. The project will become an educational facility for people wishing to learn about Forest Gardening – which follows the system of permacultre. It is a sustainable method of of growing many different plants within various layers from rootzone to upper trees canopy which can be harvested to provide food, saps, fibres, dyes and medicines. Forest Garden Shovelstrode will also offer a range of woodland craft courses,   and a ‘Back to Nature’ camping experience will be available from Spring 2010.
