🖌️🌳🎨ART OF NATURE🎨🌼🖌️ Our Art of Nature programme starts in just 1 week and we would love to have you come along and enjoy nature with a different perspective. This programme is being supported by @natforestco and is subsidised to reduce the cost to participants. Art of Nature is designed to encourage to look at nature differently, to notice patterns, colours and shapes in nature; and to find some calm as you create small (or large) works of art and memories. Each session will have a slightly different theme and all participants will be provided with the basic materials to enable them to capture what they see for posterity. You can bring your own supplies as well if you like or have a preference. So, if you would like to join us, drop us a message or email to [email protected] and we can get you booked on. #wildmindsnature #artofnature #artinnature #relaxation #creatvity #imadethis #connectingyouwithnature #communitythroughnature #heartofthenationalforest #moira #timeoutside

I had the pleasure of working on this wonderful garden on Friday. There are so many amazing plants already in place but we are planning to make it extra special. The box has had its first cut, it’s still young so a work in progress but already after one cut is looking better. We’ve cleared the borders, and a client after my own heart asked me to leave the dandelions as she has a very special pet that loves to eat them! Three @david_austin_roses have been added to the borders plus some delphiniums. Next on the list to tackle is the lawn, plus more planting and an area under a fabulous old oak tree to turn into a haven for wildlife!! I do love my job 💚 #gardenersofinstagram #gardeninspiration #gardeningbusiness #heartofthenationalforest #cottagegarden #nationalforest #localgardener #cottageplants #magnolia #cottageplanting
We are now trading under our CIC name. However, you will see other logos associated with areas of our work. The Wild Minds offer, people and personal approach will NOT change. We are still the same as we were before, there has just been a slight change to our structure. Wild Minds is still here to connect you with nature and through this connection build a stonger community. Here's to many many more years of nature connection, family connection and community connection. #wildmindsnature #wmnccic #connectingyouwithnature #communityhroughnature #heartofthenationalforest
A wonderful selection of plants ready for a clients garden this afternoon! With the changing of the clocks it feels like finally we might be able to start enjoying those outside spaces! If you’re looking to spruce up your garden, would like someone to create new borders or growing spaces, want to attract more wildlife or grow your own food? Then drop me a message or email to see how I can help.

Hello!! I’m very excited to announce that I’ve finally taken the leap into the professional world of gardening.

Seales Horticulture Services include but are not limited to- General garden maintenance such as weeding/pruning/tidying. Soft landscaping, planting, ongoing plant and garden care. I also offer advice and assistance on small scale garden design. Fully organic and sustainable garden practices. Low/zero waste with an emphasis on helping customers create biodiverse habitats that work for them as well as nature. My availability is limited to start with but I would like to build up a regular client base whether that’s once a week/month to suit you but one off soft landscaping projects (borders/planters pots) are fine depending on my availability. I’m also offering ‘holiday garden care’ during summer months. If you are heading off on holiday you can leave knowing your garden will be well cared for whilst you are having a much needed break!

Tested the Mighty Hike trousers out yesterday, worked really well, even kept the stones out of my boots. Managed 11 miles, in quite warm conditions, biggest problem I had was swelling hands, any tips for reducing this? Going to be removing all rings, just in case. #mightyhike #northumberlandmightyhike #macmillianmightyhike #dare2b #hickslodge #heartofthenationalforest #notlongtogo

Made another tiktok a few days back! After the week we’d had, a walk was in order. Plus it was a gorgeous day! It’s just a small capture of the beauty that is held within the Heart of the National Forest, UK ❤️ Enjoy!

Summer feels like a distant memory already. There's a definite change in the air now. So Covid put everything on the back burner for quite a bit.
