We called ahead to visit a Market garden in the mountains in Wales. Now they are having us stay for a while a feeding us and we are volunteering to help work on a project here, which is building botanical gardens.  

(It an interesting idea It's a ‘world garden’ where different sections have a glamping building from around the world in a circle and adjacent to each traditional structure there are plants that originate in that part of the world.  So you can walk learn about the life forms that have gradually been brought to our shores and grown here.  For instance, potatoes are found in the south America segment as well we tried an entirely unfamiliar sweet yellow berry from the Himalayan slice of the circle that is not yet grown commercially.)

We are also getting a good look at the way the really bountiful market garden, that makes the rest of the site, is managed and seeing some of the smart methods for making it work without these heavy handed agrochemical methods that have become so normal.
