What a delightful video of such an abundant space! Similarly, our project at Holt Wood Herbs in Devon, UK, grew dramatically in the first decade, and we changed some of our aims in response to the abundance! In particular we were able to share more with others, both medicinal harvests and information about our design approach. And our management altered too, it became increasingly important that we used coppicing and pollarding for faster growing trees that might otherwise have struggled! It was all a step by step process, observing the land, responding to expressed needs, rearranging resources, making changes, discovering personality in particular areas, and great to hear about it - hope you will keep us up-to-date!
