On Tuesday this week we had a visit from Overbury Grasshoppers our local village nursery. We took them up on a tractor and trailer to our small patch of Christmas trees for them to select one for their nursery. They wanted a little 4 ft one that was nice and bushy! Derek wielded the saw and in a flash it was down. After the tree was loaded up into the trailer, along with the children, we headed off for a ride further up the hill to look at the Elm tree we planted a year ago.
This was the view form the back of the trailer on a rather squally showery day. The Elm tree was 3m tall and the trunk was 11cm wide at about 1m high. It still had lots of growing to do. The children learnt a little about every green trees and deciduous trees. Then it back to the nursery to warm up and dry out a little. They all had a great morning, although I think the highlight was the tractor and trailer ride.
