Nursery Beds in 25 Local Schools

The concept of a School Tree Nursery was born of working with the Earth Restoration Service.

In 2011, with funding from Nafso, we helped schools to build growing beds for the trees that we delivered in November through to February. Each school then looked after the trees until planting time at the end of the autumn term, 9-12 months later.

Veolia donated 10 tons of ProGrow which we bagged and delivered to each school to condition the soil.

Help out where you can…

Some schools are very lucky in the help they have from parents, grandparents and green-fingered staff… others not so.

We actively seek gardeners with a few hours a month to spare to help teachers and their pupils with their tree nurseries.

If you can help and are interested in finding out more we would love to hear from you. Contact us here.
