Changes

There’s 3 big changes:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

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.
