Lots is happening at Ladywell’s Tiny Forest… as well as more lovely leafy carbon-absorbing growth of the 800 mixed native saplings, there are also elderberries ripening, rose hips reddening and acorns fattening on oak trees. So there was plenty to admire when I joined the team of local treekeepers for an evening session of weeding and spot watering, focusing our attention on the smaller saplings still in need of TLC. We even found that a tiny holly nearly destroyed by accidental trampling earlier this year – nicknamed The Holly of Doom – is now sprouting new leaves at the base of its stem and looks set to recover!
