On the tools mate! First in an occasional series on former students working in horticulture. Here’s @georgiemoyes weeding the indigenous grassland at Burnley and adding in a few forbs (wildflowers). The substrate here is crushed gravel based on the low/no fertility theory of helping stress tolerant indigenous plants deal with the mostly exotic competitive species that love fertile soils. It also helps that scraping off the top soil before planting removes millions of weed seeds #onthetools #highvizlife #gainfullyemployed #graduateemployment #urbanhorticulture #appliedecology #ecogardening #ecologicalgardening #restorationecology #novelecosystem #weneedgardeners #peopleinthelandscape #urbangreenspace
