The Karuna Permaculture project in Shropshire has struggled and fought its corner against the authorities who for years refused to recognise the reality that sustainable low impact land management and residency must co-exist in order to function properly.
When finally in 2011 the project was successful with its planning application for a beautiful straw bale round house we could finally see that all the years of damp caravan living and the on-going negotiations with the authorities had not been wasted, and that this living Permaculture Demonstration site can actually start to realise its potential. Karuna aims to carry on the work of the late, inspirational temperate climate forest gardener Robert Hart, who carried out his pioneering work just a few miles away at his project on Wenlock Edge. We are now starting to build the roundhouse.
