Merlin and Lizzie Hanbury-Tenison are not your usual farmers. Their mission is to honour an ancient woodland, restore their land's ecosystems and share its restorative powers.

When Sarah Harris moved from her home of 20 years in Ireland back to her native Colorado, she brought the quilting business she’d started in County Wicklow with her, making commissions of memory quilts , patchwork designs composed of baby blankets, graduation gowns or old clothes from deceased loved ones. Before she’d turned it into a business, quilting was something she did for herself – a way of connecting with her mother and grandmother, both quilters in the US, in spirit and in practice. My mom and I would make two of the same quilt, Harris said. We would start it together [in Colorado] when I would visit, and then continue to make them separately when I went back to Ireland, working on them at the same time, so we would each have one – the same, but separate.
