Design
I can help you transform your garden into a productive wildlife haven, either on-site or remotely.
Beauty
It is vital that productive, wildlife gardens are beautiful, to encourage wildlife and humans.
Wildlife forest garden design
A forest garden works with nature to grow edible crops, a place for wildlife and a naturalistic style. My work focusses on the aesthetic combination of native and productive plants.

My name is Jake Rayson and I’m a forest gardener and designer. Like most people, I’m concerned about the ecological and climate emergency. Promoting forest gardening is my small contribution to making things better, for connecting people with their landscape and their wildlife. I give talks, design gardens and run an online course.
