The creator of a forest garden in Devon, the oldest of its kind in Europe, says it is giving insights into how wildlife adapts to climate change.

The self-seeding garden on Dartington Estate is managed by the Agroforestry Research Trust, external (ART) and contains both native and non-native plants.

Creator Martin Crawford said he had seen how the garden adapted to the changing climate over the last 30 years: "Some plants are doing much better than they did 30 years ago, things like Persimmons for example."

He said ART was in discussions with the Dartington Hall Trust (DHT) to secure the forest garden's future.
