A garden you can eat, a garden you can wear, a garden you can use as your medicines, a garden you can use as fuel and to build your houses� a garden full of purposes, and a garden you can enjoy as well � that you can sit in � and a garden that doesn�t take up all your time. You can actually, for a few hours of work each week, produce the things that you need.

Ten years as a London bus drive drove Ken Fern to look for an alternative way of life. After a period of grindingly hard work growing annual crops on a small plot in Sari, he decided to investigate news ways of rearing plants which were not quite so labor intensive. Inspired by Robert Hart�s ideas and the will to make their dreams a reality, Ken and his wife Addy finally settled on a 28 acre field in Cornwall, which is exposed to the full force of southwest winds blowing in from the Atlantic.
