Planting!!

We found a great great nursery/garden centre in west cork that have a fantastic amount of the plants we want as well as at a great price!!

They are called future forests and also have a great website! They can delivery your order or you can collect.

Their website is: www.futureforests.net

So we made our order for the hedging to be collected Saturday 28th February:

For 50 Yew, 150 Beech, 50 Privet, 50 Berberis Julianae, 50 of the mixture for 4 Seasons native hedging (Cotoneaster, Spindle, flowering currant, Fuschia, Mixed Dogwood, etc) , 50 of the mixture Wild fruiting hedging (Wild Pear, Hazel, Guelder Rose, Bird Cherry, Blackthorn, Spindle, Elder, Crabapple) , 10 broadleaf trees (Ash, Oak, Aspen, Beech, Alder, Wych Elm, Hornbeam, Willow, Whitebeam and Birch)

We may need to get more Willow in as the soil layer under the top soil seems to be clay so we will have to monitor it.

Next post will be how we got on with the planting!!!!  

Overall 410 plants ordered and needed to be planted as soon as collected!!
