Westfield Farm forest garden was recognised as a centre within the Permaculture Association LAND project.

Bryony says:
"When my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer I knew that, in due course, I would need a big project in my life. I started the Forest Garden 10 years ago and it continues to be a source of pleasure and inspiration and constantly evolves. This photo shows how we started and I will bring an up to date one to show you how it is now."
