Stephen Nutt describing the area where the Garden of Love will be developed.
This will be a woodland garden constructed in an existing 1 acre patch of woodland.
The Garden will be dedicated to Robert Hart the pioneer of temperate forest gardening. April 02.

Its planned that the whole of the woodland garden will be developed through a series of courses run by Stephen Nutt. The first two of which were held in Oct 02...

First step in constructing the garden is to construct a map of the site.

Surveying was done with the aid of a bunyip.
(A long tube with water in, the ends of the tube runs vertically up both poles. Comparing the levels of water in both ends allows the difference in height to be measured).
