An acorn of an idea from Fife Tree Warden, Colin Andrews, means great oaks will grow across the Kingdom. For 10 years, Colin has been growing and nurturing 200 oak trees from acorns gathered in Fife. He's grown the oaks in his own garden and is working with community groups to plant them across Fife as part of a wider art project to create a future forest. Big thanks to Colin for a donation of oak trees ahead of our team's community tree planting season. 

The 'future forest' project is called akin. Read more and see some fantastic photography here: https://www.colinandrews.art/project/akin/

A spider's web for an Autumnal Halloween. Spiders, along with black cats and rats, were believed to be the evil companions of witches back in the day. We just think this is a beautiful thing.
