Nature in a Permaculture Garden 2 - A Wren's Nest Hidden Behind Ivy Growing on an Old Shed Wall

Each day I work with nature in my permaculture garden is another day of peace and enlightenment.

Last month I was clearing some ivy which had decided it would grow up an old shed wall I hadn't yet got around to plastering the outside off. As I pulled on the vines of ivy away from their anchorage I noticed a rather well camouflaged beautifully constructed nest hidden behind the ivy. As I looked at it's perfect form I could see it was constructed to perfection, moss was mixed with white hairs from my goats. The hairs weaved in and around the pieces of moss, hold all in place. One small round hole served as the entrance.

Being completely out of nesting season I put my fingers inside. Immediately feeling the rise in temperature and the cosiness of the soft wool lined interior. Everyday in the garden I am sounded by natures wonders and miracles. For me following the principles of permaculture is a no brainer.

Through this series of #shorts I will be capturing scenes throughout the year in my #permaculture garden. As I slowly turn a couple of acres into a food forest I will film some moments that bring joy to my heart. I hope they serve as a reminder for you also how wonderful a garden is.

A garden can be shaped and adorned to suit many tastes, desires and needs. In my own case, I have an interest in growing food. Nowadays almost everything I plant produces food of some kind, secondly I grow plants with a medicinal value, others which add essential value to other plants or creatures, I also enjoy plants which have a positive psychological emphasis, plant which lift my own spirit and the spirit of those you visit my garden, plants which delight the eye but particularly the nose. For me a garden is a place of great beauty and peace.

I spend many hours in my garden. Time takes on a different meaning for me when I'm in the garden, it seems to disappear and loose it's relevance. The world outside takes on a different meaning when I am in the garden, it seems further away and yet it all seems right there in this garden. I too, take on a different meaning when I am in the garden, I become one with nature.
