RIP Pepe....

Signed up two new Paramili-Trees yesterday, this lady has been a long time supporter of my page and she also comes and hangs out at the orchard every Sunday with a whole crowd of other peace loving characters, old skool flower power hippie type dudes who really make Sundays all that more special, thank you for coming every week, place wouldn't be the same with out yous...

Just recently her dog Pepe had passed away, so she brought along an apple tree yesterday to phantom plant in memory of her dog who has been very much missed at the orchard also!


RIP Pepe....

Great that she brought along her little friend to plant also, its so good to get kids phantom planting, I wish I had of planted trees when I was a kid to come back now at this age and see how big they are!

One of my life long mates still to this day never shuts up about a conker he planted with his dad when he was a kid and that its grown into this massive tree, I can see every time he talks about it his face lights up!

Such a special thing to do planting trees with our kids, even better if you phantom plant it without asking permission making it even more cooler, have said it right form the start if we make phantom planting a rascal thing to do, call it environmental graffiti - Gangster gardening - Guerilla gardening! Whatever!



I just believe if you make tree planting a dodgy activity it could transform our world in no time and make people from deep in working class areas look at trees and nature in a very different way!


Thats my goal, thats why I do what I do!

I challenge you to phantom plant a tree! Anywhere, anytime, any place.....

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
