The Pocket Forests Podcast

Episode 3. The Enagh Episode

We love the work of Dublin-based artist Enagh Farrell. In this episode Catherine calls round for tea and the chats. Enagh talks about inspiration from her life and finding heartbreak and hope in nature. Listen to her describe a balmy June night on her allotment and you will want want to sign up to your nearest community grower group and get some pea shoots in the soil asap. 

Episode 2. All things Miyawaki

Akira Miyawaki was a Japanese botanist whose work inspired Pocket Forests and others planting woodlands in urban areas. Catherine travelled to Kent in the UK to talk to Louise Butfoy on the site of a fascinating experimental plot. In February 2021 the Trees Outside Woodlands team working with the Tree Council and Kent County Council planted nearly 1000 trees in a fenced off 400sqm area. Around 800 of them were planted Miyawaki style (4 plants per square metre). The remaining 200 or so trees were planted one sapling per square metre. Find out how they fared and how they look now. 

Episode 1. The Pondcast

In our second episode Amy, Ashe and Catherine talk tools, ponds and bring you to the wonderful WildAcres in Wicklow, a nature reserve created by Gilly Taylor and Brian O'Toole. The WildAcres project is all about helping  do a little or a lot of what Gilly and Brian are doing on their 17 acre site. Meanwhile in the Pocket Forests world it's the end of planting season and we're a little excited and exhausted. Giddiness ensues.
