Forest Garden Livestream

Wednesday 16th December, 10am GMT

Ground cover plugs or GYO?

A living ground cover is essential in a pretty much every garden. It provides habitat, food, a harvest and keeps the soil healthy. Which ground cover you choose depends on your situation, time and money. In this week’s livestream, I’ll be looking at how to grow your own ground cover in propagation beds and also tips buying on buying plug plants.

There will be an informal Zoom chat afterwards at 10.30am, all welcome.

Photo gallery of forest garden plants

Slowly, slowly, catchy a photo gallery of forest garden plants. Organised along the lines of Creating a Forest Garden by Martin Crawford, you can look up photos whilst reading the book and planning your garden. 

If you’d like to help out, I have written up instructions, plus I've made a 9 minute YouTube video explaning the research process. There’s also a break--out WhatsApp group just for the gallery development. Email me hello@forestgarden.wales for more info 💚

Support the livestream & gallery, become a Patron 😎

I have a Patreon page patreon.com/forestgardenwales, so sign up if you want to support the livestream (every Wednesday without a break since March 2020!) or the development of the forest garden gallery.

There’s also the option to become a Stellar Coaching Patron, where you get 1-to-1 coaching via Zoom, plus free access to my online forest garden course, all a very reasonable amount which is a lot less than having your garden designed by me!
