Garden Overview

Emulating a natural woodland, Tünde Perry incorporates forest gardening – one of the oldest and most eco-friendly horticultural practices – into her design of Aldi’s Sustainable For-est Garden. The garden invites us to step outdoors and get involved in our surroundings by growing a diversity of plants such as woodland trees interplanted with smaller fruit trees, shrubs, berries, herbaceous plants, ground covers and vines. This is a sustainable method of planting that fosters beneficial relationships among the plants, increasing biodiversity and creating a beautiful, low-maintenance garden.

Mounds of hugelkultur – an ancient tradition of building beds from rotten logs and plant debris – fluctuate around the garden, creating a naturalistic landform. Tünde has adapted this method for the Irish climate, using native and edible plants to provide a home and food for insects and humans. This garden provides space for everybody to find their own rhythm and balance in their lives.
