A Deep Dive into the world of hedgerows, their history and importance. Connection to traditional craft, food, medicine. And ultimate resurgence in sustainable garden design.
Beautiful. I stopped dead in my tracks the first time that I caught a view of hedgerows spreading out across the fields. And although I only spent 4 months in the uk, many things have stuck with me (the hedges are just one). am jealous of your proximity!
And they are (locally to us, in the Wye Valley, UK) sometimes bits of woodland, left as hedges when fields were created - as Wordsworth noted:
"Once again I see
These hedge-rows, hardly hedge-rows, little lines
Of sportive wood run wild"
Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey

Yes, I do believe we’re very lucky. (Luckier still the day I find proof that Wordsworth walked past our house)
indeed :)
