Catherine Cleary and Ashe Conrad-Jones established Pocket Forests in 2020. The organisation is a much needed initative to get more trees into Urban areas. Pocket forests use the ‘Myawaki method’, planting trees more densely so that they grow rapidly to compete with each other, harnessing natures power and acting as a valuable example in urban areas, of what nature ‘should’ look like, messy, chaotic and beautiful.

The five stages of making a Brigid cross after watching a YouTube video:
1. Janey Mack this is harder than he made it look. I’ve got a floppy mess on my hands
2. Oh actually now I get it. The weave is tightening. Pinch-turn-tug-pinch-turn-tug.
3. In the flow now. Marvelling at the ingenuity of nature and humans. Reciprocity. Renewal. All the big themes. And yes I am reading @robinwallkimmerer Braiding Sweetgrass right now. Get your hands on a copy.
4. Tie off the ends. Tighten knots. Maybe it should be left without trimming. Uneven ended with seeds.
5. No. The absolute satisfaction of neatening the ends. Snip. Smell of fresh cut rushes. This is an ancient relationship between people and plants.
Hello Imbolc. Hello Spring. All hail Brigid the earth mother and thanks to this beautiful sodden green land for everything she gives us.
Last night I swam and sauna-ed in Lough Kee. It was beyond magical. @ce.sauna have night sessions in Lough Kee Forest Park for the coming evenings. A winter woods experience to nourish your soul
Adored this @leliahenry exhibition called Conversations with Trees at the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts. It finishes this weekend. Stunning to be in the presence of these beauties rendered in charcoal on paper, both of which come from trees. They all have Irish women’s names. This one moved me the most. A mother tree with lost limbs and dried out stem still umbilically connected to the forest.
