I'm working on lots of cool projects at the moment with some super talented people. #ForestGarden #FoodForest #wildlife tower with a local artist.

This is a sketch of a Tŵr Gwyllt (Wildlife Tower) that the artist is currently working on, and I'd like to adapt the design for edible perennials and #NativePlants, as well as habitat

The #FoodForest Tower is designed for schools, so I've been working out the different working heights of the different gabion levels

And what's so nice is that there are a whole load of different combinations of gabion shapes, sizes, heights etc we could use.

These are 5 circularish gabions with one big tower in the middle.

I used my open licensed #ForestGarden Spreadsheet to choose some shrubs https://grwd.cc/forest-garden-spreadsheet

And here's a prototype, where some of the ideas came from -- circular gabions constructed by Preseli Landscapes for a job in Aberteifi.

All inspired by gardener John Little https://www.

@jaker there are some very impressive samples - I guess I have to revisit your site several times to conclude on what I will build at my home
