Here's a few photos of a some great examples of forest gardening, first the amazing roof garden at RISC, really well documented here:
RISC:

| The RISC garden is especially amazing because it's on a roof! Yes, everything is planted in just two foot of soil... here's a link to the list of plants in the garden: RISC plants - its a useful list of forest garden plants in itself. |

| Here's the RISC roof garden not long after planting |
 |
| Detail of the planting and the different path materials: woodchip and reclaimed slabs |
 |
| Loads of understory variety, including medicinals etc |
 |
| Another forest garden, this one's at Seaford on the South Coast, planted and developed by Bryn Thomas |
 |
| This one's at the Peat Centre |
 |
And this is Chris Dixon's project in Wales; more of an example of natural regeneration than of forest gardening but a fascinating project

Finally for now, here's a link to Geoff Lawton's site - lots of great free stuff on forest gardening and also on Permaculture in general:
