Sea buckthorn is being said to be invasive* however this is definitely not the experience in a long time established North Wales forest garden.

At the top of the Bangor forest garden in a space about 70ft by 50 ft there are:
Propagating and compost area. Oak copse, 3 Apples, Ginko Biloba, New zealand flax, 2 Gage plums, Chinese angelica, Hops, Service berry, Good king Henry, Rubus Nepalensis, Rubus Betty Ashburner, Sea Buckthorn, Elder Eliagnus, Monkey puzzle tree, Myrtle, Juniper, Golden Bamboo, Spreading bamboo, Golden Currant, Gooseberries, Blackberries, Viminalis Willow, Japanese wineberry, Rootstock wild cherry, Moonglow plum, Pineapple guava, veg beds, and theres more!, and the Sea Buckthorn? is very well behaved! It grows and tries to spread by splitting and falling, so it requires some maintenance as the willow does, the bamboo, the strawberry tree does, or the raspberries, or the pruning of the plum trees, its very valued and is one of the trees that regularly gives us good regular crops.

Forest gardening is the old original gatherer culture, the cultivation of perrenial produce. Its said that the whole of the Amazon was a forest garden. As people gather they also plant.

Yes please ...

The water in Geoff's natural swimming pool is almost clear. As the water plants grow and establish themselves, the water clarity will increase even more. Follow the hashtag to see the beggings of this project.

We dreamed of and planned for this for years. The purchase is complete and reality is sinking in. We are owners and land stewards of a most beautiful piece of the earth - woodland, land and stream. It's beauty grows with each visit. We vow to nurture and treasure it

The beautiful river carving through the mini valley in the woodland was looking particularly beautiful today.
