Welcome to my Blog!
As a horticultural writer I often come across people, stories, tips, tricks and real gems of information that never really make their way out of my notebook. I am hoping to share a few of these insights here as well as my own gardening experiences, which includes getting my children excited about plants.
I believe that a strong connection with the garden and our landscape when we are young is vital. I am hoping that educating my children in "Green Living" and "Smart Gardening" will provide them with the fundamental building blocks necessary for them to live long and healthy lives, while also doing their bit in helping to create a sustainable and green future for all.
Happy Gardening!
A true living tree chair
How incredible is this? This picture and article appeared on
Milk Way Scientists.
In 1986 Peter had the idea of growing a chair. Nine years later Peter
and Becky became partners. Pooktre was born. Together they have mastered
the art of Tree shaping. Pooktre has perfected a Gradual shaping
method, which is the shaping of trees as they grow along predetermined
designs. Designing and setting up the supporting framework are
fundamental to the success of a tree. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor furniture and others will remain living art.
