Mother's Day 2026 is on March 15th this year, is just ten days away. Why not give the gift of some forever flowers made with love here in Leitrim. I have a small collection of my botanical prints and Irish linen wall hangings of native irish meadow wildflowers.

Please have a look on my my website www.amorbotanicalart.com you can order at ease or feel free to dm me.

If you are looking for something special, sustainable, made by hand, made local, my original prints are made on natural papers and my linen will hangings are eco printed on Irish linen. I will post on stories too. 

If you wish I can add in a personalised message on a one of my botanical cards with each purchase 🌱🤍
Thank you for supporting my work, your order means that I can make new work 🤍

I'm really grateful and thankful for the invitation to contribute to the Spring 2026 issue of Leitrim Life Magazine 'Quiet Renewal. My piece 'Wild Threads' talks about my art practice & process. My work is, and always has been rooted in nature, in our native plants and this place.

I share my concern about the things I love and care about in the 'long now' such as our destruction of our hedgerows and local ecosystem. We need to come together in this moment we call now, to look after one another, we are all we have, we're all one, we're nature 🤍🌱

Thank you very much to Stella Gordon for this interview and the opportunity to share my thoughts. You can pick up a copy at retailers and shops around Leitrim at the moment. 

Thank you for taking a look, video clip filled with Sunday chorus of birds at end 🤍🌱hope you have a  peaceful Sunday.

samhain garden and jewel like nature offerings from the hedge
haws, sloes, ivy, and a contented frog ready to nestle in and hibernate for the winter 🍂🐸

samhain marks the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half. Like Samhain, our hedgerows occupy a liminal space, allowing some through while acting as a boundary for others. A safe habitat inbetween open grassland and woodland.

Hawthorn in the hedgerow, ivy and blackthorn provides shelter, food and protection for our winter birds and animals. As well as being habitats for our hedgehogs, frogs, mice, birds and many others they act as wildlife corridors. If you are walking or out at dusk look out for low swooping bats, they use the hedges to reach sources of food, most noticeably on these milder late october days where while there is still lots of insects about. 

Happy to meet this content little fella, our native common frog who has been feeding up and catching some late autumn sunshine close by the compost heap in the garden this week as he prepares for overwinter hibernation. 

The promise of the hedgerows as life givers is always here but sadly we are taking it away, removing through intensive cutting which is happening at an increasingly worrying rate, a real life Samhain nightmare.

Yesterday was such a wonderful day with . I am so happy to have three of my plant drawings featured as part the beautiful 'Nourish' Garden - a collaboration between award-winning designer .cornelius and which was awarded a gold medal at the show. Congratulations to Leonie, Jo and their team 🌟

This courtyard-style, sanctuary garden blends architecture with wild nature to reconnect us with ourselves and the rhythms of the natural world, in a time marked by overwhelm and disconnection. This year the show gardens share unifinying themes, highlighting environmental awareness, ecological change, biodiversity and prioritising health and well-being. 

Our President Michael D Higgins, gave one of his last public speeches 🥺 focusing on climate change. His speech was very moving, stating that ‘The peoples of the world are aware of this crisis but there are corporations who are going in the other direction and are very active in trying to get us to retreat from our commitments’ 

It was wonderful to take in the 'Botanical & Floral Art' Exhibition at the Phoenix Park Visitors Centre and meet the amazing exhibiting artists and see their inspirational artworks. Such a lovely community connection feeling at Bloom 🌱

field garlic is an amazing wild plant with a long history of uses. A nourishing plant used traditionally in cooking throughout Europe. Medically it offers so much and is a rich source of antioxidants to support and protect healthy cells in the body.  Ecologically field garlic is a valuable food source for our pollinators. It's flowers provide nectar and pollen and leaves offer shelter for many small insects.

Agrimony, the 'thankfulness flower'
Agrimonia eupatoria

this drawing will be part of a very special outdoor project upcoming project at the end of the month and I am very grateful to have been asked to take part 💚

I love Agrimony for many reasons this wwek is this powerful little native wildplant grows in our Irish ditches, verges, roadsides the hedgerows.

She is a companion plant who's presence leads to improved growth and resilience in other plants, creating a more plant community and better overall ecological balance. Agrimony is been encouraged into our garden this summer to enrich the ecosystem, making her a truly valuable plant for biodiversity.

In the language of flowers, Agrimony means 'thankfulness' or 'gratitude'. The wonderful Exhibition: 'An Fómhar Fiáin' Ireland’s Wild Food Plants is now open at the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland in Dublin from this weekend until the 25th of May and is free to visit in this beautiful weather. Best wishes to everyone taking in the exhibition.

Rosa canina - she has woken up early in our Leitrim hedgerows with this long spell of sunshine. Leitrim is know historically as Ireland's 'Wild Rose Country' due to the abundance of rosa canina which garland the local hedgerows through the summer. The dog rose holds a special place in my heart, indicating the start of summer, harvest time and picnics in the meadows as her blossom dressed and scent filled the lanes and hedgerows of my grandparents farm in North Leitrim.

Our native dog rose is a true wild super food, packed full of nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants, it’s fruit contains one of the highest sources of vitamin C, supposedly 70% more vit C than oranges.

the queen and sally 🌱

a new drawing for , made following a lovely encounter at home in the field here in Leitrim on St. Patrick's day. as the queen bumblebees wake up from hibernation the sallies are like magnets in March as the forage on pollen laden catkins. 

sally is a common and I think is an underestimated little tree given their role in our biodiversity and in flood prevention. a brilliant native Irish wild plant, it holds space in my memory throughout my life, especially at the start of spring when the first pretty and vibrant green shoots and flowery male catkins flowers appear. the sally loves damp ground and is plentiful throughout Leitrim. it thrives in wet, lowland areas and is a most common hedgerow and field margin species around here for many, many years. a perfect tree for rewilding.

winter wren 🤎

I've have been lucky to encounter several little winter wrens in the beech and the birch lately. Hearing their churring song lifts my heart, so tiny and powerful. Seeing them bob their bodies up and down as if their doing squats as they gather lichen and feed on the hips, haws and holly.

I read that that during courtship, the male leads the female around to each of several nests he has built in his territory. The female then chooses which nest she prefers to set up in
