Love this young boy!

-

 Think about this amazing young boy from the estate all the time!


A few months ago we phantom planted an apple tree out the front of his aunties house in memory of his Grandad, then he came over and I showed him around the orchard telling him when the apples are ripe and ready for picking and we had ourselves a feast.


He asks me when are we planting more trees and we arranged many more plantings which he never missed.


Then my right hand man sees the young boy giving other people from the estate a tour of the orchard telling them when and how to pick the apples.


This boy is 10 years old I think and he come up asks me will I train him and show him all the types of training I do from the trees, I said no probs and we arranged a few training sessions and he got stuck right in loving it.


I was then walking through the forest a couple of weeks ago and there he was collecting sweet chestnuts, I couldn't believe it!


We then arranged another training session and he shows up bang on time with his pockets full of conkers asking me what do I do with these!


Its kids like this that make the phantom planter for me, its the best feeling ever, this is why I came up with the mask, the name and to try and make tree planting slightly dodgy and mischievous, to attract this type of interest and its working! 


For me when kids come and actively want to get involved like this is way better than having Jonny Rotten over planting or any other TV or Radio stations we've had.


My main purpose from I started was to appeal to people in working class areas, to create a grass roots movement from deep in the community, let them ego driven social astronauts do what they want up top, they are corrupted and lost up there, the system is perfectly designed to do that to you!

For me its whats happening at the roots is what really matters.


Thats my dream and vision anyhow, I believe the greatest things ever come from community level and we all need to get out and make this happen!

  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"..
