We are a group of permaculturalists who have bought 10 acres of valley land leading down to a stream. Seven years into the project most of the native broadleaf trees have been planted. There is also a longstanding food and medicinal garden, a small lake, stone and water features. Directions Two thirds up the Cousane Gap road from Kealkill there’s a wooden sign saying “Essiac Mondays” and parking in a large lay-by 50 yards on left.

In January we had a very successful Hedge Laying course at Madeline’s farm.

Here’s a picture of the hedge we layed. (Click the picture to see full size.)
