I see #gabions, everywhere.
Fabulous habitat, easier than walls. Nice example topped with Ivy-leaved Toadflax in Cardigan.

Lovely gabions by the Cardigan health centre. Great for wildlife, all those nooks and crannies. Best to use recycled aggregate cos energies. Notice how stones are lined up carefully, so that there's a flat edge along the facing side, prevents bulging

We are in an accelerating #ClimateEmergency and witnessing the collapse of the biosphere. The agenda of the world economy is to burn all the fossil fuels.

Using references in #GardenDesign:
1. Choose a plant you can eat https://pfaf.org & https://bit.ly/forest-garden-spreadsheet
2. Look at the pretty things #WildFlowers (note: some overlap here) https://bit.ly/garden-wild-spreadsheet
3. Choose #NativePlants https://plantatlas2020.org (note: more overlap)
4. Find out who else eats those plants http://dbif.brc.ac.uk/hosts.aspx & https://en.wikipedia.org/
5. See if they live in your neighbourhood https://nbnatlas.org
6. Make informed decisions as to what plants to include

Livestream recorded, which I guess isn't a livestream…
My free resource of the week is #PlantsForAFuture — an online database of edible & useful plants. And let’s face it, pretty much every single plant is edible or useful some way or other, to somebody, somewhere.
If you are in a position to help, please do make a donation for their essential work

nostr:npub1hvzjvzfmclu5l5zk65fxye5cgt7e0qvs6rcn60z72v9hy79mmpzq4qmle9 that is so handy, thank you.
I thought about creating a project update post: when there's news, people who have liked it see the update. 🤔
