Two GGers, Caroline and Rachel headed up once again to the lovely forest garden at Parkwood Springs.
I'm always amazed at how much I can learn with Goodgym. We learnt:
- the differences between male and female Seabuckthorn and that many people make the mistake of buying just the female, but then don't get fruit if there's no male nearby
- Filbert is similar to Hazel. It has catkins (the male part), and tiny flowers that look like a sea anemone (the female plant) on the same branch. Because they had both they're hoping to get some nuts (although the squirrels will probably get them all!)
- the intricacies of pruning blackcurrant bushes
- the gossip about the new Parkrun starting up
- much more besides!
Lovely spot, lovely people, lovely snacks! We'll be back again soon
