A treemendous effort from all runners today. We had some big ol’ holes to dig for 10 adolescent trees to be transplanted into the estate. Not an easy task since the soil was rubblesome and many of the stakes were too high. The weather was sunny and snowing and hot and cold all at once. But with the help of much elbow grease, pickaxe action, hoedown throwdowns, a master gardener, digging for victory, croissants and teamwork, we did eventually make the tree-dream work. Looking forwards to seeing these new upstanding fellas flower and flourish over the forthcoming seasons!

You WOOD not believe how POPLAR we were, showing up for some no twigs attached fun, got to the root of the issue, until it was time for us to LEAF! (was that a bit aCORNY?)

It might have turned cold but we kept warm up and down stairs delivery flyers letting local residents know about upcoming tree planting in their area.

We also had time to clear and prepare the ground around existing trees in the hedgerow to find gaps for where the new trees will go!
