Major mistakes

I am here to make the big mistakes so that you don’t have to 😉! On Wednesday 7th April 10am BST, join me on a forest garden tour of my biggest mistakes so far. Too busy to watch? Then here’s the ordered list:

  1. Plant windbreaks and canopy first, shrubs and ground cover later.

  2. Keep the Bramble, Blackthorn and Dock under control.

  3. Focus on one section at a time, work from centre.

  4. Did I mention, plant windbreaks?

  5. Make a water reservoir.

  6. Don’t use plastic.

Informal Zoom chat after the livestream at 10.30am, all welcome.

Garden Wild Spreadsheet

The Garden Wild grant application is in, now it is a matter of waiting until July for the results. If successful, we will be building a freely accessible online photo gallery of UK native wild flowers. In the meantime, I am noodling around with website software and slowly adding species to the Garden Wild Spreadsheet (indeed, I have just added Smyrnium olusatrum).

Support the livestream, become a Patreon

I have a Patreon page patreon.com/backyardforest, so sign up if you want to support the livestream (pretty much every Wednesday 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 for a very reasonable amount which is a lot less than having your garden designed by me.
