We chat with forest garden designer and edible landscaper Mark Lord in south-western Germany.

“A garden should be a holistic experience, feeding all of your senses, and your mind,” says Lord. He believes food gardens can be about more than just eating—that they can also be visually appealing, bio-diverse, and appeal to other senses such as smell.

We also digress into his experiments making liqueur including linden, serviceberry, cherry…and nettle!
