Unlike many contemporary cultivated gardens, nature does not neatly compartmentalise her landscapes with ornamentals growing in one place, vegetables in another and fruit trees in yet a third location. In woodland several plants such as standard and half standard trees, shrubs, climbers and ground cover occupy the same area of space, each �stacked� to find it�s own requirements within it�s particular �level� in the system. The Forest Garden is an attempt to replicate this �layering�, replacing the wild plants of the woodland with fruits, herbs, vegetables and other plants that are useful to peoplekind.
