June 2010 • Guild Planting and Pond Design

June 20th was a wonderful and fabulous PACE day hosted by Maggie and Luke in Inverness, complete with kids, snacks, contemplation and planting.

We started the day by planting a guild around our ancient little apple tree. We planted chives, comfrey, yarrow, currant and ceanothus all of which are happy and thriving. The majority of the day was spent contemplating the conversion of an old pool into a pond with functioning greywater and swimming potential. After many great ideas were shared we transplanted and made new homes for several different water plants.

The day summed up shortly there after with an abbreviated lunch. The lucky few who stayed late got to help us transplant the Black Elder that was propagated last winter. Thanks all of you who made this day possible!
