Ulster Rugby help Horatio's Garden break ground in Northern Ireland
I have a question: do you know if this technique of capturing shadows could be applied to the Anthotype technique? Thank you
I would not walk in those woods at all, only on whatever paths next to them. Sacred ground :)
How did the challenge go? I'm embarking on my own crusade against it this summer.
That's a very good question... James hasn't mentioned a struggle with it this year, so we can safely assume his efforts were a success! Good luck with your crusade too!
Interested how he did it. We tackled mums garden and the entire garden has been taken over by ground elder, we pulled it all up and are still left with roots deep under the lawn, so our hard work looks wasted as it’s all going to come back, the lawn is just mud with no grass, it’s gonna take something else, and now the leafs are gone doubt a good weed killer will finish it off. It’s exhausting and back breaking
the best way to get rid of it, is to eat it! ground elder has many medicinal and nutritional benefits that shares a long history with roman soldiers and even clergymen
You can't eat a whole lawnful.....
What is the 'miro tennis court' extending out from the green house? Chickens?
Thank you Richard for your observations - wonderful to watch.
Beautiful and Calming
Simply and quietly described - I loved the way it starts with just observing the shadows in your garden, encouraging you to slow down and look in a different way. This gives people encouragement to try this and experiment. Not even 'failed' photos are really failures... thank you Alice and Horatio's garden
You're more than welcome Laura - we're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the video.
I have had the pleasure to work with Jack with Theremin Bollards and he is a inspiring guy.
Great backpacks boys
I hope the fundraising goes well. I am ever grateful for the help and care I received at the hospital.
