If you are a regular reader you will know that we love trees and have many growing on our land.
Pink Wonders.
Six years ago in the spring we planted two Japanese tree peonies outside the front door. One had a white flower that first year and has not had any since. The other one has never flowered so it was with great joy we discovered three buds on it earlier this spring.
Spring Colour.
People often talk about beautiful autumn colours. We think it is time to celebrate all the colours of spring as well. Although they are not as fiery and bold as the autumn colours, they fill the land with their own special energy. Light green, white, blue and pink is dotted across the landscape.
The Forest Garden.
We were delighted to find that a friend had posted this excellent video from National Geographic on Facebook recently. It showcases the work of Martin Crawford, a Forest Garden pioneer and a huge inspiration to us for the last eight years.
Carved in stone.
I was lucky enough to be offered a lift back from Limerick the other day by a dear friend. I was even luckier when she invited me to take part in a fieldtrip around the Portumna area of County Galway with her fellow students on the day. Because we encountered great beauty and wondrous beast I decided to avert from the usual subjects of this blog and share a few photos here from the day.
