Are you Planting a Grove in NW England?

[mark the compost elf]

Hello all,

just a quick note to say that i have a goodly number of tree saplings, varying species, that can be free to a good home. So if you have some land you want to plant up as a grove, or just fancy a nice tree in the garden, get in touch by messaging me - i'll be able to give you names, numbers and care instructions for the saplings.

As I do talks on tree folklore, dryads etc so i usually have a collection of different saplings that i give out for free at these talks. Suddenly, about four weeks ago, a thought sluggishly worked it's way to the surface; ' why not offer the trees to fellow OBODies too?'

So, i have finally logged on to post the message up.

I live in the Wigan area, so if you can make it there, or we can arrange a meeting point that is mutually beneficla to us both, then i am more than happy to spread the seedlings. nAlso travel quite a lot with work, so get in touch if you are out of the area and if i am heading through your area in the near future then i'll see what can be done

Well done. x

Thank you ... too a while for the connections to form ... my brain broccoli must be needing more water.

Im not so much planting a Grove as i seem to have one out back ,,I am planting all sorts of nuts ,, i'm collecting walnuts and hickory and buckeyes this fall and i'm going to scuff them a bit and layer them in buckets with leaves and loom and sand to winter-over naturally,,if any sprout ill plant them along the top of my banking,,if I get more than 3 or 4 of each I work with a friend that has a camp in the mountains where he would like to plant some for future seeds on his 40 acres
