Nature Works | View this email in your browser | | | Wednesday 4th August, 10am BST | Garden wild flowers | Forest gardens work with nature to grow edible crops, so native wild flowers are a natural fit in creating resilient ecosystems, because native plants have co-evolved with wildlife. | Wild flowers are great because they’re colourful, a good food plant for insects, and are usually edible, herbal, medicinal or useful in some other way to humans. They are a natural fit in a forest garden. | Join me on a swift tour of why and how you can incorporate wild flowers into a forest garden, and where you can get information from. | As always, at 10.30am, there is a Zoom chat, all welcome. | | Close-up of Fox and Cubs (Pilosella aurantiaca) | Livestream | | Zoom Seminar | | | Share | | | Forward | | | | The video is up on my Nature Works YouTube channel. | | | Alan Carter’s Food Forest Garden | Sometimes, you bookmark a website and then never visit it for years. | And then you kick yourself, because that website is a total gem. | This is the case with Alan Carter’s website A Food Forest in your Garden. There’s some absolute nuggets in here, lots of detail about lots of plants, written about from experience with plenty of useful, engaging comments. Never mind cat memes, It’s what the internet was designed for. | | Share | | | Forward | | |
