Permaculture and universal energies are available to each and everyone of us. We can sow, plant and grow without the use of chemicals, pesticides etc. and use the universal energies the way our ancestors would have done.

Growing food can be done economically, it need not cost a fortune and can be done on a small or large scale from window boxes to acres, putting it within reach for everybody. So we can nourish our bodies with good healthy clean food.

Here at Gaudin Gardens we believe in the three R's – Recuperate - Re-use - Recycle. The gardens were inexpensive to set up just time and effort plus Mr O just happens to have a mini digger and a quartz crystal pendulum.

For the love of Arches



The arch survived storm Freya last week although it did have a bit of lean on by the Monday morning.
I repositioned the arch at the weekend as I didn't feel it was in the right place, I moved it over about a meter.
Its windy again today and the arch has a new lean on, so some serious rethinking of stabilisation is needed.

There are five arches around the gardens giving a bit of structure here and there. 
Two metal ones which were destined for the recycling yard that now have new leases of life at Gaudin Gardens. One made from branches of the living willows, my unstable bamboo creation that needs some attention and a new metal arch I purchased on Saturday.

I have planted honeysuckle cuttings I took last autumn at the base of both sides of this metal arch that Mr O recuperated. Hopefully they will grow quite quickly like the small cuttings I planted around the unsightly electricity pole in the court yard (nothing much we could do about that, EDF wanted an arm and a leg to move it so it stayed where it was)

This metal arch belonged to my neighbour and came complete with trunk of a wisteria that got out of hand in her garden which adds to the overall rustic appearance. Its got a wild honeysuckle one side and a white climbing rose the other

The living willow arch

Newly purchased metal arch not sure what I'll grow up and over it yet something evergreen would be nice.
  
Until next time
Blessings to all
