Our tree family have the unique ability to pull water in through their leaves and up through their roots to release it as oxygen and water vapour, in a process called the water cycle. But the magic happens in between. They process and filter out all those nasty chemicals, including the sex hormones. Then the magical microorganisms and bacteria that work in partnership with the trees break the harmful chemicals down into their constituent elements. These can once again be released and recycled causing no more harm. This environmentally sound system for pollution prevention and control is known as phytoremediation.

We need to protect every single tree we have already and plant or preferably allow nature to grow trillionsmore native trees,to survive the chemical warfare we have inflicted upon the earth, upon ourselves.

“After a long career as a landscape designer, Mary Reynolds realised one day that she had to stop what she was doing and step up and ask people to give their gardens back to nature. So she started a growing global Movement called “We Are The Ark” (Acts of Restorative Kindness to the Earth).

Change the way you think as a gardener. Wake up and become a guardian. Stop fighting nature and go against the controlling instinct and instead encourage those weeds, encourage untidiness, encourage life to return.

The more biodiversity you can establish in your patch of earth, the more complex a food web that is restored; the less biodiversity, the weaker an ecosystem. No need to plant anything unless soil is damaged or destroyed. Every square foot of healthy soil hides about 5000 seeds. We just need to encourage and allow them to emerge from the soil, and then slowly guide the system into as diverse a habitat as possible from woodland and native shrubby thickets down to meadow.
