  1. People often think that #thujas are sterile #hedges without any life. But you can leave gaps in a #thuja #hedge for native bushes or use them as a climbing help - like for this #rose. A solution with existing thuja hedgerows if you can't erase them: thin them out, add plants.
    In this thuja live a lot of insects, I found nests of paper wasps, and blackbirds build their nest, fully protected from the neighbour cats.

  3. Whoop, the first row of the 20m front hedge is complete 🎉 Also the second row is at 13m, so another 7m to go, but need to celebrate the first row completion 🎉
    So far I have planted 185 Hawthorn, 30 Field Maple, 20 Wild Cherry, 10 Spindle, 20 Crab Apple, 3 Beech, 1 Blackthorn, 1 Dog Rose and 1 English Oak.
    Still have a load of trees left to finish off the 7m and fill in the odd initial gaps/damaged trees.

  5. The early purple #orchid contingent was putting on a wonderful show alongside the #bluebells (and the last of the #primroses) in this classic Cornish #hedgerow earlier #today.

    I recall that these orchids were very rare hereabouts during my #1970s childhood. Improved hedgerow management, decreased pesticide use, and an improved general awareness of these gorgeous plants really seems to have made a difference 💚

  6. More Teasels. I love them, they’re nature’s sculpture installation in a hedgerow and they’re great subjects to draw and paint. Here’s another that I’m calling finished. #art #pastel #landscape #hedgerow #teasels
