Just came across this little view today whilst taking the pooches out at lunchtime. Simply lovely so thought I should share. A forest of snowdrops! #cwtch #hedges #nativehedge #birdfriendly #planting #countrypursuits #campsite #herefordshire #gloucestershire #themarches #solarpanels #wildflowers #camping #snowdrops

525 hedgelings! Roughly half of them are in the ground now. All bird friendly species. It will be a couple of years until this looks like a ‘proper’ hedge but it’s lovely that it accentuates the curvature of the driveway. We are planning wildflowers on the slope of the banks, that’s another job for a month or so away. #cwtch #hedges #nativehedge #birdfriendly #planting #countrypursuits #campsite #herefordshire #gloucestershire #themarches #solarpanels #wildflowers #camping

Cutting willow for ‘fedges’ at Cwtch. Lots needed and we are very lucky to have access to some locally. Have cut and taken one van load to be planted tomorrow. Will have to see them how much more we need. Excited to see structure coming now that we have trees and very soon hedges and ‘fedges’ #wetlands #willow #fedge #hedge #wovenwillow #camping #campsites #ecofriendly #planting #gardening #loppers #herefordshire #gloucestershire #cwtch

We always planned a ‘loose’ orchard for Cwtch Cabins of traditional native fruit trees. We have tried to use as many really local species as possible. 29 fruit trees are planned in all but with the piles of topsoil still on the ground and more to come I could only plant 22 this dormant season where I know that they will be safe from disruption. The trees came bareroot from Walcot Nursery https://walcotnursery.co.uk/product/king-charles-pearmain/ We will be going for the rest

Hedge Life Whilst planting 100 babies into our translocated hedge to help it along the way, James found these two lovelies. Great hedge company (Hedge Nursery), lovely plants, carefully delivered with all the bits we needed: https://www.hedgenursery.co.uk/ #newventure #campsite #muchmarcle #herefordshire #gloucestershire #ladybird #hedge #planting #hedgenursery
