Hedgerow Diaries May Holly One of our most easily recognized tree, spikey and evergreen, there's actually over 400 species of the Holly (Ilex). Hedgehogs love to nest in the dry leaf litter. And while the berries are toxic to humans, they are a feast for the birds. It has really strong white wood, beautiful for carving. Its dark glossy green leaves and red berries are strongly associated with Christmas. However, like so many Christian traditions, that comes from much older times when Holly boughs were brought into homes at the winter solstice, their vibrant growth and colour bringing cheer at the darkest times of the year. Associated with thunder gods throughout Europe, the Holly tree was often planted as protection from lightning strikes. Apparently the spiney leaves do actually act as mini lightning conductors meaning the tree is rarely damaged by lightning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1600790352742-YQQHAKDQROA4AF1LFM14/image-asset.jpeg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries May Welsh poppy Now I'm cheating a little with this one as it's in my garden! But it's wild and it's lovely and it's bright yellow. The Welsh poppy just can't fail to bring a smile to your face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1598371187434-NGVGWXGFOH1ECH5IRWQJ/image-asset.jpeg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries May Silver Birch One of our oldest native trees, Birch was one of the early 'pioneer' trees to re-colonise after the end of the last ice age. It's also one of the first to come into leaf each Spring. It has always been associated with new beginnings and purification; used in the fires of the Celtic festival of Beltane and the wood for the May Pole. Well known as a fire starter, the bark can be peeled off in tissue-thin strips which makes great tinder. The traditional birch besom is still made and used all across Britain, not just for garden sweeping but also 'jumping the broom' where newly married couples would leap over the besom at the threshold to bring fertility and harmony to their new home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1598371185840-MLV3FXOAHU3M65QQD2YG/image-asset.jpeg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries May Hawthorn Blossom We couldn't finish the month without the May-tree itself. It's been a glorious month for the Hawthorn. Flowering early this year, it arrived by the first week of May like it did in the old calendar. The dark and wind-twisted trees with their spiny thorns, look almost frightening most of the year, until May when they are abundantly adorned with the creamy flowers. Long held to mark the start of summer, it was considered bad luck to ever cut a Hawthorn until it flowers, and then boughs of blossom were used extensively in May Day and Beltane festivities. Bring on Summer!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1598371186021-OGI9YXMLTOMOT2DUV5H3/image-asset.jpeg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries May Foxglove Thrilled to see the bright colours of the foxglove exploding all over the wild places. The name is thought to come from a Celtic/Saxon mismatch for Fairies Bells, then again, there is the old-lore that foxes wore the flowers on their paws to make them stealthy and silent as they hunted their prey across the wooded hillsides! One of the most beautiful but poisonous plants in our hedgerows. Eating any part of the plant can be deadly. But it can also be life-saving. For more than 200 years foxglove has been harvested for as heart drug digitalis, giving it the strange legacy to 'raise the dead but kill the living' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1598371186895-ENWK79GTGANZET7U7TNQ/image-asset.jpeg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries May Cuckcoo flower 16th century herbalist John Gerard explained these gorgeous flowers were named for emerging when the Cuckoo begins to sing. They are also called Milkmaids or Lady's Smocks. The young leaves have a peppery taste and they can be eaten like watercress. But traditionally it has always been held as unlucky to pick, attracting thunderstorms and adders! So best left for the orange tip butterfly to enjoy. https://www.latitude534.com/chronicles/hedgerow-diaries monthly 0.5 2020-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1600789030735-G7K5ABOTJYDYSSLRSZNP/bracken.jpg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries- April April 21st - Bracken Maybe small in size but huge in importance. Hedgerows are often all that is left of our ancient wildwoods, steeped in myths and legends, they hold the plants that are the guardians to the underworld, the strongest medicine and the most lethal poisons. And just sometimes really pretty. So first up is the much maligned Bracken. It's the largest of our native ferns. Its been around for about 55million years and is possibly the most common plant in the world. In old lore the spores of bracken could make you invisible, and when attacked the young shoots release cyanide. Pretty cool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1600788966960-9YE37JR0IH36ADXQQS9T/gorse.jpg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries- April April 30th - Gorse Ok, probably not technically part of the hedgerow, but we needed some colour, and when the gorse blooms, no matter the weather, the hillsides are filled sunshine and the heavy scent of coconut is in the air. The flowers make great wine, and are a very old source of yellow dye. The spiny bush branches burn really hot and were used to fire kilns, and a soap can be made from the ash. But most popular is it's romantic (& not very restrictive) dictate- "Only kiss your beloved when the gorse is in flower" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1600787670530-P32CEO9I0DLGAB52ROX2/wild+cherry.jpg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries- April April 25th - Wild Cherry The beautiful cherry blossom is one of the best parts of spring. It seems almost too ornamental to be part of our wildwoods. Cherry bark has been used for a long time in cough and cold medicines. Children used to make a sort of chewing gum from the resin. But best of all is the fruit to come. There is archaeological evidence that cherries have been eaten since Bronze Age times. Surely the tastiest delicacy of our hedgerows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1600787472513-HMDKC517KZVR6BYST2OO/hawthorn.jpg 534 Chronicles - Hedgerow Diaries- April April 28th - Hawthorn Bara Caws- the bread & cheese of the hedgerow. Heart medicine of old, and even older still the tree that guarded the underworld. Soon to have the may flower, heralding summer, but for now loving seeing the new green shoots on the old gnarled branches. https://www.latitude534.com/chronicles/mountain-skills-course monthly 0.5 2020-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1583581696467-3P00K727S7WCYBQNK9XB/latitude+marshy.jpg 534 Chronicles - Mountain Skills Course  28-29th March Photo credit @carlai85 https://www.latitude534.com/courses daily 0.75 2019-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1567507349579-7YLIPY68Z9UAG62MNBZS/20170817_133501+%282%29.jpg Courses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1567443937788-0SXKU2HIKKFJFSQ0V666/halldrine+jugging+5.jpeg Courses Halldrine Cove, Cornwall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1560969616596-LN592Z1O69X4HS5EQI0U/20170801_220844+%281%29.jpg Courses Devil’s Kitchen, Cwm Idwal https://www.latitude534.com/adventures daily 0.75 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1567506960741-3YA2DNEYR4D1LQ3BZ0FJ/62176332_607040576470254_8450514348639518720_o.jpg Adventures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1567511006639-HTQPFMC2VJQZ5MXWYOL9/_DSC1638.JPG Adventures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1567507678358-T8NP5IHU72IAM61WY74H/62783822_615858472255131_938828852463927296_n.jpg Adventures https://www.latitude534.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-08-29 https://www.latitude534.com/sample-days daily 0.75 2019-09-03 https://www.latitude534.com/logo daily 0.75 2019-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d00e288f3f45f000162efe8/1567523386499-GKDF5JWNX3C5NTYD8617/Latitude+Logo+10+small+file.png logo
