Fruit growing in Scotland
The greenhouse effect is giving us a new climate in Scotland allowing us to grow more exotic plants, such as grapes, figs, peaches, and travel abroad has given us experiences of the Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia), from Canada. Trials with native Blaeberries (Vaccinium 98rtillus)are very pleasing. Information on webpage about Fruit growing in Scotland at www.johnstoa.com/fruitgrowing.htm

Owner
We are building food-forest-theater-studios to create media. Our studios will research sacred poetry based on tree-lore and seasonal observation of life. They will also act as sanctuary to at risk life-forms Then we will produce media to get humans into the "Art of the Fugue" and have them re-fusing to Our Lady Gaia.
