Growing a medicinal forest garden requires careful planning and consideration. This comprehensive guide provides the practical information needed to create a sustainable and self-sufficient garden, whether for personal use or commercial purposes. Anne Stobart shares her expertise, gained from creating a medicinal forest garden in the UK, to provide advice on designing and establishing a medicinal forest garden, including permaculture principles, propagation, and management for a sustainable harvest.

Detailed monographs on medicinal trees and shrubs provide fully referenced information on their medicinal uses, alongside cultivation and harvest details. With this guide, you can create a medicinal forest garden that meets the needs of different users, from small gardens to smallholdings and agroforestry.
