Seedy Sunday an Stratification

Specialbranch had their regular stall at Seedy Sunday, the annual swap/ 'green' gathering, held at Brighton BHASVIC every February.
We had a very busy time selling trees, giving advice, networking and advertising ourselves to the public.
Lots of our volunteers joined us behind the stall to help out and make it a thoroughly enjoyable experience, aided by copious supplies of biscuits.

Now is the time to check our stratification boxes. We examine all the seeds we collected last year to check if any signs of germination have occurred.

The volunteers found a record 10 bags with very good signs of early growth on our first inspection, even with very cold weather in the ascendancy.

All of the germinated seeds were then delicately transferred into seed trays, covered with a little soil and put outside with some weather/mice protection on top. Finally, we recorded all the details in our plant 'bible'. Hopefully this year will provide us with plenty of fresh plantlets, to replace the now rather depleted sales beds.

They are doing a good job and we should learn from watching them as we are seeing nowadays that pollution is increasing at a very fast rate. The only solution is to plant more and more trees, plants. And they are conveying this message very well , nice work keep it up.
