Garden visit: The Edible Forest in the Yarra Valley

This week on The Horti-Culturalists we were very luck to visit the wonderful Edible Forest in the Yarra Valley, just outside of Melbourne, a one acre, netted Food Forest where everything is planted for a reason, be it edible, medicinal, bird attracting or nitrogen fixing. A magical space that is open to the public and home to an interesting array of edible plants, some of which might come as a surprise! In this video we take a look at some of the plants that caught our eye, meet head gardener Jaimie Sweetman who explains the basic principles of this permaculture garden, meet a large lizard, delight in the design of the garden, eat a few things and learn just what Hügelkultur is! If you'd like to find out more about the Edible Forest, or arrange a tour, you can do so here: https://www.edibleforest.co/ A huge thank you to the team, and particularly head gardener Jaimie Sweetman, at the Edible Forest for making us so welcome, and for providing us with the most fabulous lunch!! We mention a few plants specifically in this video, though there are MANY more we don't: Pseudocydonia sinensis - Chinese quince Vitex agnus-castus Campanula punctata Polygonatum hybridum - Solomon's seal Smallanthus sonchifolius - yacón Houttuynia cordata Marsilea Drummondii - nardoo Arbutus androsterilis Disterigma alaternoides Aronia melanocarpa - black chokeberry And we also reference a few of our previous videos: Water features and aquatic plants here:    • WATER FEATURES & AQUATIC/BOG PLANTS   How to grow Gunnera here:    • How to grow Gunnera Tinctoria: a plant pro...   Arbutus here:    • Plant profile: arbutus - we take a look at...   Neotropical blueberries here:    • How to Grow Tropical Blueberries: a rare g...   Sambucus here:    • Sambucus genus profile: A close look at 8 ...
