We are happy to inform you that we have moved our business to a new farm where we will open a shop with seeds, garden shoes, tools and other growing accessories . We have also set up a greenhouse where you can find our range of unusual & useful plants to get a little closer to them before you take them home!
We have an opening premiere on Saturday, September 14th , when we will offer coffee, various teas and cake! Read more below.
In connection with this move, we have strengthened our focus on Food Forest gardening - i.e. the cultivation of plants in a kind of system that mimics nature's natural ecosystem, but with self-selected plants with particularly desired properties - it can be of either edible, medicinal or household value. A food forest is built up to become a system that takes care of itself to the greatest extent possible over time . For example:
- selected ground covers & climbing plants spread and keep unwanted weeds away;
- the diversity of plants in a food forest becomes home to various beneficial animals that single-handedly keep unwanted pests at bay for you;
- Plants with different nutrient absorption capacities provide nutrients to all plants in the area when they wither away; with several plants with different nutrient absorption capacities, the combined nutrient supply becomes richer for all plants in the system.
We have therefore also divided the plants in our greenhouse into the different layers that are used in forest horticulture, i.e.:
- The crown layer
- Second layer
- The shrub layer
- The herb layer
- Ground cover
- The root layer
- Climbing plants
We have set up pots with slightly different combinations of plants to provide inspiration for how to combine your plants!
Even though the warehouse is not fully stocked and everything is not yet ready, we choose to open as now is the best time for planting perennials, shrubs and trees at this time of year.
You are warmly welcome to stop by. 😊🎋🍃
