Alan Carter enthusing Forest Gardens beyond the allotment fence. Basically planting trees, shrubs and plants that require no maintenance, all in accord and in the right place. Alan's web site reveals a lot of good information.http://scottishforestgarden.wordpress.com/

David Ross with help from his daughters replanted the space in front of the Laing Library Newbugh. Instruction was of planting a mixture of edibles mixed with flowers, Marigolds, for instance scent the area and mask cabbage from butterfly laying eggs and so it goes on....mindful planting that requires no maintenance . This is how it was last year.
