RIP June Heaney

-

We phantom planted a memorial apple tree at the orchard yesterday in memory of June Heaney, she was one of the pages long time supporters who passed away recently.

Her husband and friends came along yesterday and planted some of June's ashes in with the planting of the tree, this is such a nice thing to do and is so good for the tree and soon June will become part of the tree.

I could see how much comfort her husband was getting from doing this, I think this should be something that should be done alot more, I know people get trees planted in memory of passed loved ones and have their ashes scattered over the tree but I think the family needs to be involved in the planted too and even better when the tree is a fruit tree that will be contributing to the community and nature!

RIP June Heaney.....


My dodgy delboy dad was the last person in the world who ever would have planted a tree, when I said to him on the anniversary of my mothers passing do you want to plant a tree in memory of mum his eyes lit up, I couldn't believe it, he went back and watered and looked after the tree every week after that!

I really like doing this also, taking time to plant trees with people and the Belvoir Memorial orchard is practically full to the brim now, there is 5 acres of land for sale next to the orchard and I'm thinking of setting up a go fund me page to buy it and make it the Belfast memorial orchard, its 135k and you could fit thousands or fruit trees on it, its the pefect location, a 10 minute drive from Belfast city centre!

What do you think guys, Should I do this?




If yous help me buy the land I will carry on paying for the trees and offering my time to plant and look after the place and I'm sure many of you would like to help out too. This place would be for everyone. A life long plan to make a massive city orchard!

  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"..
