Tree Nursery

A busy half term, opening up an access into the Green Lane and 2nd Orchard to establish a tree nursery.




View through foot opening to Green Lane and 1st Orchard beyond.





A couple of days of Blackthorn clearance and a couple of boulders later. Big thanks to Darren and Alex.











In amongst that time to walk in 300 young trees lay out a mulch/self watering system. Thanks Sian.










Nursery started off with various woodland collected seedlings and year old chestnuts grown from last years Greenwich Park harvest and this years for germination.







Apple blossom in the 1st Meadow where the trees in the shelter belt had been badly hit by frost the previous week.







In the Car Park fascinated by a particular flying insect that appeared dropping eggs from the air onto the car roof!
