Lets get making our streets and estates into urban orchard for everyone to have free fresh food!

Love this!

 I remember getting this pic sent a few years ago from a father saying he had his kids out phantom planting.  Love it when kids get inspired to phantom plant trees. That was my dream and vision back when I started, was to make planting trees cool with that element of rascality to it.  So far my dreams and vision have come true.  Thank you to all you phantom planters out there for making this happen.  I challenge you all to phantom plant a tree today!  Peace and love The Phantom Planter  Support this grassroots movement below.  https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FAJZHB3TBXMSL

Keeping the rascal happy!

Check out this phantom planted cherry tree! The pic doesn't do it much justice but this tree is glowing, just randomly phantom planted on this unused bit of grassland many years ago, this beauty is thriving - Feeding the community and nature. All the other 300 or so fruit trees that surround this cherry tree have been planted without permission by us - The Phantom Planters! Better to ask for forgiveness than permission anyway. Nothing like a bit of rascality but at the same time doing a good thing. That's why I love it. I was always a rogue and phantom planting trees keeps that rascal in me happy.  I challenge you all to Phantom Plant a tree today!

The phantom planting movment!

 This time 2 years ago we had some fans that came over from Scotland to visit myself and the phantom planters HQ!  After getting the tour of the trees they got some free phantom planter Tshirts.  People have come from all over the world to visit The Phantom Planters HQ aka Belvoir Memorial Orchard.  Just recently I've been getting lots of nice messages from people saying how much this movement has inspired them to plant trees or change their lives in some way.  I remember when I first started this page and coming from the underworld background I came from, it was one of the hardest things for me to do was set up this page and put out all my thoughts on nature and the Buddha.  You always worry in the back of our minds what people would think.  I know many thought I was a con artist, that there was some sort of dodgy outcome to what I was doing.  But there's not, I believe in the Buddhas teachings, I believe in Karma and that we purify ourselves wit...

Thank you!

 Thank you so much to everyone that has donated to help support my mission and help me out with my new home. Really means a lot to me and thank you for all the nice messages that came along with the donations.  Wish I could get back to you all with a personal message but I really dont have time. Here is my new cabin being built now, should have it in the next couple of weeks.  This has been a long time coming for me. As most of you know my cabin I'm in now is completely rotted with holes all over it, it's been passed it's use by date about 20 years ago!  I've been saving for so long now to buy this new cabin and it's finally happening. I won't know myself! This is how I intend to roll is living like this. I can get this cabin lifted and moved anywhere I want on the back of a HIAB truck.  For now I have a nice spot tucked out of the road where me and wee betty are going to live.  Living simply and cheaply like this gives me more time to phantom plant trees c...

My life is the trees!

 My life has become The Phantom Planter. Everyday is spent working with the trees.  If I'm not planting and looking after the trees, I'm talking about the trees or doing my workouts with them.  What I have did over the past 7 years or so is I've phantom planted trees all along the routes I normally drive by. I very rarely plant trees in areas I dont go too. I like to keep them all in places I pass so I can look after and admire them.  My life is dedicated to The Phantom Planter. My life is dedicated to the trees. Please do support me in any way you can below.  https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FAJZHB3TBXMSL 1000 apple trees I have growing right now. Well 998 as 2 of them died.  People say this will make you a load of money selling them. It's not my intention to sell them. My intention is to plant them for the community. If I was to sell these it would come with a an agreement that if the tree is planted in your garden that it gets added to my free...

Many hands make light work.

 "Many hands make light work".  Me and my inner council members spent the day yesterday checking on our new Lisnabreeny community orchard. Cant believe how well everything is doing.  So many of them coming into flower. I can't see any out of the 300 trees we have that haven't come to life. So good to see all our hard work and patience pay off.  What's amazing about this place is all the trees have been grafted, grown and planted by us for nature and community to enjoy.  We then headed round to our phantom planters apple tree nursery and weeded our beds. Can't believe how fast we got it all done. Many hands really do make light work! Over one thousand newly planted apple trees we have here propagating and only 2 of them haven't taken.  That's 998 native Irish apple trees that will be ready for phantom planting next year.  Happy Easter btw everyone. Hope you have a good one.  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter  I challenge you to phantom ...
