When i was told we were going to a tree nursery, i imagined a childrens nursery embedded within the treetops, and quite looked forward to it. It turned out that it was a nursing home for trees. Not as exciting as i imagined, but nonetheless i was shocked at the discoveries made that day. Hundreds and hundreds of acres of land nurturing trees, newborns, semi mature. We were shown all the planting, and re planting techniques, root ball and container grown. A long trek, but we prepared sandwiches and it was a nice sunny day too. Picked up a hilliers tree designers guide which im finding very useful, as well as winning the competition at the end. I won an easter egg if you really wanted to know.
5 star trip in my books.
