Say you cared about the world, about the fate of this planet, cared about it so much that you just gave up your previous lives and threw it all into the dream of a forest garden hidden in the hills outside Glengariff, west Cork. Well that's pretty much just what these two intrepid dreamers have done.

Two Green Shoots emerged on the farm owned by Chloe's parents and the beauty of the wilderness tumbles down the hill and envelopes you. Adam's deep knowledge of plants means that EVERYTHING that surrounds you has use, has purpose, and is also pure play. Just like this powerful yet playful couple of adventurous nature lovers.

This is a snippet of the time we spent chatting with the pair, after enjoying a breakfast made entirely from the bounty their land provides. We hope you enjoy our whimsical post-breakfast wander on the themes of self sufficiency, permaculture, and finding joy in living simply.
