A prickly Sweet Chestnut seed pod
Join me for a visit to Prickly Nut Woods, where Ben Law built his woodland house (as seen on Grand Designs) and lives among the sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) trees. You can see some of my photos in this Flickr set.
Ben has written three books about his life in Prickly Nut Woods – The Woodland Way (A Permaculture Approach to Sustainable Woodland Management), The Woodland House and the full-colour and very beautiful Woodland Year, all published by Permanent Publications and available via the Green Shopping Catalogue.
Also in this show I talk about the new AKG Seed Appeal to raise money to help Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank save wild plant species. Click through to find out more, or donate directly via JustGiving. Thank you!
