The Husbandry School
Husbandry is an ancient word which means ‘the care and management of nature and resources for living’; it’s the life-giving business of looking after the interaction between human and planet. Set in 47 acres in the heart of the beautiful Devon countryside, The Husbandry School is the joint venture of Carole and Jonty Williams. It is a centre of learning, linking hospitality with horticulture, people with the land.
Jonty has written about the husbandry in his book, Husbandry: an ancient art for the modern world and the concept is closely aligned to with those in Stewardship Economy.
