The gifts of natures larder, where the wild things live and grow.

Our September hedgerows are at their peak and now heavy with ripening fruits of autumn, berries, hips and haws, blackberries, hazelnuts, elderberries, snowberries and much much more. These fruits , seeds and berries provide essential food sources and energy supply for our birds and mammals. Many of our swallows, swift and house Martins are still with us in ireland getting ready to migrate for the wonder and our hedgerows provide them with the food they need for their journey.

This morning I met several gold crests, swallows and dunno is busy gathering insects from the patch of devils bit and bush vetch on our lane. The layering within our hedgerows is vital for wildlife.

Hedgerows are our heritage and for over a decade I’ve been drawing solely from the hedgerows and the meadows of my home here in Leitrim. Our biodiversity is our heritage.

This week is National Hedgerow Week in Ireland. Hedgerow week is a partnership between the The Heritage Council and Teagasc you can visit their pages to find out what events are happening to raise awareness of the need to care for our hedgerows. Hedgerows Ireland

A great light has gone out and such a time to loose him.
RIP to the gentle powerhouse Wendell Berry, farmer, poet and environmentalist. His work about community, care, love and loss has touched my heart for many years. Through his gentle activism and acts of care for the planet and how we can create a deeper connection with each other.

Window Poems by Wendell Berry
The country where he lives
is haunted
by the ghost of an old forest.
In the cleared fields
where he gardens
and pastures his horses
it stood once,
and will return. There will be
a resurrection of the wild.
Already it stands in wait
at the pasture fences.
It is rising up
in the waste places of the cities.
When the fools of the capitals
have devoured each other
in righteousness,
and the machines have eaten
the rest of us, then
there will be the second coming
of the trees. They will come
straggling over the fences
slowly, but soon enough.
The highways will sound
with the feet of the wild herds,
returning. Beaver will ascend
the streams as the trees
close over them.
The wolf and the panther
will find their old ways
through the nights. Water
and air will flow clear.
Certain calamities
will have passed,
and certain pleasures.
The wind will do without
corners. How difficult
to think of it: miles and miles
and no window.

It's now season, devil's-bit scabious, a flowering plant of the honeysuckle family here, along with common vetch it's flowering in our fields, verges and bogs at the moment. I adore this native wildplan as it plays a vital role in biodiversity late summer for our pollinators and is the main food plant for our marsh fritillary butterflies.

field studies
flight path, friday

thinking about this thoughtful, collaborative project with artist Louisa Crispin

focusing on a small patch of meadow section as a I observed during the heatwave on 2021 making miniature studies of the wildplanrs and visiting pollinators, meadow browns, ringlets, small and large cabbage butterflies, small moths, carder and bumblebees on a folded paper strip with Louisa's graphite marks. a space to express what I saw happening within this square metre of the landscape through monoprinting, textural markmaking, natural inks and watercolour studies to make a snapshot of the life and light projected at sunset from a field in leitrim in early august.

enchanter's nightshade
meeting with an old friend,

a little native Irish wildplant in the verges, hedges and edges, in flower now. I introduced this magical little plant to our garden some years ago and quietly thriving now in patches of shade, strong,shy, unassuming, and as I've observed this past few months very able to withstand the recent heatwaves.

"Inchanters Night-shade… groweth in obscure and darke places, about dung-hills, and untoiled grounds, by path-waies and such like.”

John Gerard, Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes, 1597

Fraochán posie 🌱
for world bog day

gathered from the side of the iron mountain, near home in Leitrim. a mountain that holds the memories of generations of my family which we have reminisced much about over the past week.

fraughan or billberry is a small blue/black berry much like blueberry but smaller, they grow on peat and mountainous land. also know as heather berries amongst other names and traditionally picked in Ireland on garland/billberry or fraughan Sunday, grateful to hold generational, family stories of billberry sunday spent on both Sliabh an Iarainn and Thur mountain, Leitrim.

these bogs and peatlands support unique ecosystems not found in other habitats, the sphagnum mosses are one of my most vivid plant memories from childhood, the texture, scent and colour, I remember it's abundance – the keystone organisms of bog formation, in harmony with the fluffy bog cotton and ling heather, the billberry and bog rosemary and the rowan trees.

feild studies 🌱 agrimony

the agrimony has been glowing in the hedgerows and ditches, rough grasslands and woodland edges the past couple of weeks on sunset field walks.

it's tall, narrow yellow flowers bending, almost floating in the breeze, gently nodding to the late evening bees and other pollinators. a perfect pairing in this recent heatwave. and providing nectar and food for the butterflies and moth catterpillars, in neutral, chalky soils.

thankful for this wildplant
