Bloom Time
our garden sanctuaries

Before Covid arrived, at this time Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland, hosted the spectacular 'Bloom Festival', but that has not been possible last year, or this year. So, for this 'Nature Folklore' session let's indulge in our Garden Sanctuaries.

Veggie gardens will now be growing sturdily here in the Northern Hemisphere, and beautiful bees and butterflies attracting flowers blooming too. Let's celebrate this!

I am inviting guests to share their gardens with us on Sunday, including abundant gardens, gardens with lovely little projects happening, and humble but delightful new gardens of people starting out in gardening and find it comforting despite challenges and seemingly small yields yet.

So please invite yourself to share and show us what is happening in your garden from a new little flower bed or herb garden, your limited space potted plants garden, wild garden, humble garden, or your well established greater garden. Please contact me to be live on Sunday or create a small pre-recorded video that does not need to be fancy. Phone videos these days are just perfect. Photos are helpful too.

Lets have a good craic with this on Sunday :-) 

And there will be a questions and response session too.

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 15th August, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Crom Cruach LegendsCrom Dubh Legends the lesser known mythology of harvests gathered This, and the previous 'Nature Folklore' sessions, last Sunday, featuring Croms Cruach and Dubh, are perhaps the most niche of all that I present. This is part two of a two part Nature Folklore session exploring the folklore and mythologies of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh. It is a challenge to separate the two as similar tales are told of both legends. But it does seem that the Crom Dubh mythology arrived later than the reverence for Crom Cruach as a god. The tales of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh are very intertwined these days. Though nobody really knows the origins and details of either I am going to approach this as Crom Cruach being symbolic as a bringer of harvests, and Crom Dubh as a metaphor mythology of what happens

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 12th September, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Tree Sanctuaries Autumn Gathering support for Your Tree Sanctuary desires A time and opportunity to recap on where we are with our Tree Sanctuaries and Tree Sanctuary ideas. This is a time when trees are truly turning colour around us in many places where we live. It is also a time we start to think about and plan our next tree planting season between November and March. This year I will talk about changes that I feel we need to make regarding our attitude and expectations of Tree Planting.  This includes encouraging nature's own regeneration planting and not being in such a rush or over ambitious with our own planting.                                                                                                                                     This also serves as a follow up to our March 'Us An
