The Agroforestry Research Trust @ Dartington

A very inspiring place at Dartington - which the Vision Group visited ten years ago:

The Agroforestry Research Trust

 is a non-profit making charity, registered in England, which researches into temperate agroforestry and into all aspects of plant cropping and uses, with a focus on tree, shrub and perennial crops.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Agroforestry Research Trust (ART) is a British non-profit-making charity[1] that researches into temperate agroforestry and all aspects of plant cropping and uses, with a focus on tree, shrub and perennial crops. It produces several publications and a quarterly journal, and sells plants and seeds from its forest gardens.
The trust is managed by Martin Crawford, and has a 2-acre (8,100 m2) forest garden, next to the Schumacher College in DartingtonDevon, in the United Kingdom. It makes heavy use of ground cover plants to restrict the growth of weeds.[2][3]
