Welcome to the 2nd season of Woods in the Sound, dedicated to cultures of forests.
Forests invite us to reimagine and live into other ways of knowing and being, of conceiving of the self and community.
We are currently exploring the subject of forest gardens, otherwise known as food forests or regenerative agroforestry, as a framework some people find towards regeneration of monocultural landscapes, and healing of agricultural deserts, with an intention to grow food (and not only) in more meaningful ways while taking care of biodiversity, soil life, and other reciprocal relationships.
In this episode we are walking around a forest garden in Eastern France: "Une Figue dans le Poirier" - a space that is bringing ethical gardening, arts and pedagogy together - and speaking with its co-conceiver, designer, sculptor and blacksmith Lilian Didier.
This episode is in French, so if you would like a translation we invite you to watch the video with subtitles in English.
