Martin, you gave me an idea and I've just ordered some hazel saplings to put in some new gaps along with a crampbark and dogwood. Leslie, I am often mesmerised by watching the small birds zip from one hedge to another (they don't go into the laurel!)Aisha - I was surprised just how upset I was at the time! Lucinda, planting a rowan is a real investment. I hope it flourishes.Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765060233389739578.post-30630505347922517832012-03-13T23:19:13.285-07:002012-03-13T23:19:13.285-07:00this makes me want to move to england so i can hav...this makes me want to move to england so i can have these trees and hedges Le Sigh, in a urban city for now. lovely post, your trees sound so lovely. i wanted to cry for your Valerian as well.Aisha @The Bewitching Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747046019797410273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765060233389739578.post-22386648697366109302012-03-13T12:58:39.688-07:002012-03-13T12:58:39.688-07:00It was lovely to read all about your hedges and tr...It was lovely to read all about your hedges and trees Sarah, we can do so much for wildlife even in our small patches can't we. I'm glad you ended up with a Rowan, such a special tree, it obviously found you for a reason. :)Whispering Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268144918126029850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765060233389739578.post-38755884252123010872012-03-13T12:06:08.896-07:002012-03-13T12:06:08.896-07:00Oh how lovely Sarah.

There are still some hedgerows around our farms but in town, it is a rare thing around here:( I imagine you spend a good deal of time admiring all the birds and other critters that enjoy yours. I know I would! Have a beautiful day and thanks for sharing:) xxComfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765060233389739578.post-64033264380587566582012-03-13T11:06:49.579-07:002012-03-13T11:06:49.579-07:00Lovely post Sarah.

About 4 houses up, there was a pathway through to another close that was lined with hawthorn and hazel - I can vividly remember collecting the hazelnuts! Having said all that, the housing development was built on what was beautiful woodland, populated with tiny huts/shacks that were 'weekend' living for people from the inner city of Birmingham. There was also an Anglo-Saxon 'mount' and moat that was also destroyed to make way for the houses.Hawthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561268224964347096noreply@blogger.com
