Nature Works | View this email in your browser | | Changes | There’s 3 big changes: | Monthly livestream & newsletter — I’m switching because people seem much busier now, myself included. I’m aiming for an ad hoc livestream most weekdays on Twitch & YouTube. Courses moved to Gumroad — my courses were well received 🤩 on Udemy but I had little control over marketing & pricing, so now Backyard Forest and the free mini-course Plan a Backyard Forest are on my Gumroad shop. The RRP of the course is now £74.99, on special offer of £29.99 until the end of September. New website — I have a new website up & running natureworks.org.uk
| To celebrate these changes 🎉 I am offering newsletter subscribers a chance to buy the course for only £14.99 👀 Just use the discount code newsworthy at the checkout, offer valid until Thursday 30th September! | | | | | Wednesday 6th October, 10am BST | Structure & support | I have had some great feedback from our private forest garden Telegram group (you can get an access code when you buy a copy of the Backyard Forest course, use discount code newsworthy), so following on from suggestions by Julie & Abi Su, I’ll be talking about seasonal jobs, scheduling work in the garden, and ways to support your forest garden adventure. | I’m very aware that I only offer a 3½ hour online course and a Telegram chat group. I feel that there might need to be monthly evening online workshops for beginners, plus ongoing check-ins as part of the course 🤔 | There will be a Zoom meeting at the end of the livestream, all welcome 🙂. | | Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is good for visual structure & needs no support | Livestream | | Zoom chat | Zoom chat Password: spiral Time: 10.30—11:00am
| | Share | | | Forward | Forest Garden Plant of the Month | | UK native, hedging, windbreak, autumn leaf colour, floral spring display, cheap bare-root plants, the Guelder Rose Viburnum opulus is an absolutely magnificent plant, as a specimen or a hedge. If only you could eat those luscious looking berries… 😆 | | | Last month’s livestream: Solace 2. | The video is up on my Nature Works YouTube channel. | | | | Robin Harford’s Eatweeds | There are some resources that are gentle and consistent, and you only gradually become aware of them. One such is resource is the Database of Insects and their Food Plants. A more recent one for me has been Robin Harford’s Eatweeds weekly newsletter. | There’s a new (sic) plant profile every week, recipes and foraging tips, all delivered with a very light touch. | Please do have a look at his Eatweeds Cookbook and the rest of his website. | | Share | | | Forward | | |
