A busy run-up to Christmas for sales of our bare-rooted trees and shrubs. The ground is still warmish and the trees have shed their leaves, si it is ideal planting time.
The volunteers kept warm digging up, heeling in and bagging up plants for our visiting customers; although, if we had to dig up around 500 every week, early enthusiasm might begin to wane.
It was lovely to hear of so many worthwhile projects in Sussex, with so many devoted nature-lovers. I'm so glad we can contribute towards so many great schemes.

Some of the team enjoying another sunny Friday at the nursery after repotting Yew and Holly seedlings.
Only two or three Friday lunchtimes this year have been spent in the polytunnel. The nursery must have its own microclimate!
After completing the repotting of smaller plants we are now pruning hedgerows and generally tidying up the borders of the nursery. Hazel coppicing should begin before the end of the month.
And another year begins......
