Livestream—Clifftop Garden

December 13, 2021

Nature Works

Beginner’s Workshop

Monday 3rd January, 7-9pm

I run a free forest garden workshop on the first Monday evening of the month, from 7pm to 9pm, all welcome, any level of interest and experience.

The first session 7-8pm is a public livestream where I talk about what a forest garden is and how to set about creating one.

The second session is a Zoom meetup, where we can talk about individuals’ plans and ideas. Bring along a map and a bucketful of enthusiasm for wildlife, productive gardens!

The Clifftop Garden

I will be talking through the design and planning required for a wildlife, scented, edible and mostly native garden.

It’s about 15m by 12m, in a vaguely triangular shape, situated (as you may have guessed from the name) on the top of a cliff!

There are special design challenges, like access and safety, but also considerations that we all have to take into account. Because it is a relatively small space, the design and plant choices have to be spot, which was a very exciting and exacting process.

If you’d like more information about the project, all the notes are online bit.ly/clifftop-garden

As always, there will be a Zoom meeting at the end of the livestream to discuss all things forest garden. As always, everybody welcome 🙂.

This is the “Cliff” in Clifftop Garden!

Forest Garden Plant of the Moment

Tarentum Myrtle (Myrtus communis ssp tarentina) is an aromatic evergreen shrub, a sub-species of Myrtle. It has beautiful flowers and the leaves and fruit can be used as a flavouring in cooking. I’m using it in the Clifftop Garden as a low growing (1.5m) evergreen hedge.
