“Mahatma Ghandi has been the enduring inspiration for this vibrant greenery. His vision of a world order based on democratic de-organized self sustaining small communities – he’s the guiding principal of Robert’s work, but other influences are to be found amongst the trees which have both practical and spiritual significance.”

Inspired by the urge to create a practical solution to world hunger whilst caring for his handicap brother, Robert has carved out a haven of tranquility and abundance.

Success depends on the understanding that useful plants can be grown in succession of layers that imitate nature. (Excerpt from film)
