Winter planting

TREES PLANTED

Hello Planters, With the cold, wet weather of winter now here, it is the ideal time to be planting trees. Pop on a beanie, some gumboots and with a rosy face tackle that bare patch on your property. At present, we have two  local nurseries on board with ‘fifteen trees’  – Avalong Nursery (at Haddon) and Seeding Victoria (at Creswick/only open on the weekends). Both nurseries have loads of stock and are a great source of information on how to keep your new trees healthy and growing strongly. They also have a special price for the tree guards and stakes that you will need to ensure a good strike rate. For those who have picked up and planted their trees, don’t forget to email me a photo (if possible with people in the shot – helps make it more personal) and a comment so that those who have paid for your trees can have some feedback about where their money has gone. A list of businesses who support this project are listed on the ‘supporters’ page of the website. Keep warm – Colleen

We have a handful of organisations and small companies, who purchase trees when they can. These people are masters of ingenuity when it comes to incorporating tree planting into their business practices.
