If you build it they will come

 Always great to see these little beauties come back year after year to the Belvoir memorial orchard aka The Phantom Planters HQ. 

If you built it they will come. 

I would say there must be close to one thousand mixed fruit and berry trees phantom planted at the HQ with the wildlife thriving. 

We have created a utopia for the community and nature. 

One thing I try to never get caught up with on this page is sharing the destruction of nature. I prefer to put my energy into solutions and positive action. 

People send me messages all the time saying please share this petition and that petition to stop trees getting cut down. Its so sad to see but once you start doing that where does it end.

And it only makes me angry also, which is never a good motivator. 

So many do like to point out all the wrongs but never have solutions. 

If we all got our heads together and setup groups to go and buy land for replanting and become phantom planters also these postive ripples can go far and wide. 

When I look around the world there is way too much negativity and destruction. Its out of balance.

More effort needs to go into positive actions. Dont let yourself become infected by the negatives of this world.

I'm very grateful though for my dad, he was a very powerful and positive influence in my life. Watched my dad go for rags to riches. His glass was always half full. Even in the last days of his life he was humble and humorous and said to me dont worry son, I've had the best life ever,  I've lived the life of 10 men he said and at the same time too, he was still wheeling and dealing, selling his dodgy goods from the hospital bed. 

I have always been optimistic, enthusiastic and live serendipitously thanks to my dad. He made me believe anything is possible. 

Be part of creation guys and not destruction. Let the love of trees be the motivator here. Much better for your own headspace. 

I challenge you to phantom plant a tree.

Peace and love
