About Forest Garden Shovelstrode Ltd

Forest Garden Shovelstrode is a woodland oasis carpeted in wildflowers and teeming with wildlife, on the edge of Ashdown Forest, half way between London & Brighton.
 
Following the principles of permaculture, we grow and harvest much of our own produce in the orchard, vegetable, and forest gardens, which also supply our on-site cafe.
 
We run woodland craft courses and promote wellbeing in nature (Shinrin Yoku) through a variety of therapies and treatments. The wood-fired sauna was built using locally grown western red cedar and helps to improve cardiovascular and brain health, detoxification, and fat loss. It also improves sleep quality.
 
The outdoor space comprises a regenerating woodland, a wildlife pond, and a forest garden covered in a diverse range of plants and trees, with some open areas and woodland glades.
 
The woodland workshop is a versatile tented area used as a teaching, meeting, and workshop space. A level grassy area beside the wildlife pond can accommodate a marquee or structure of up to 100 sq m for an event or performance.
 
There are four beautiful log cabins and two traditional yurts within their own secluded corner of the woodland, providing overnight accommodation for up to 12 people (twin share).
 
The cafe has a well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven, and alfresco dining area and fire pit surrounded by many exotic and edible plants.
