Our tree planting day has been a long time coming.
We managed to get 150 trees and a £100 grant from the woodland trust. We used the £100 to get 250 more trees to plant out.
Local Councillor Jim Grey came down to open our event and plant a tree. We even got a newspaper article in the local Echo News.
We had cakes, raffle, tea/coffee/soft drinks, craft stall, teddy tombola and hot sausages in buns available to all - we raised just under £200.
But the important part of the event was getting all 400 trees in and around our boundaries, in a few years time we'll have a nice big hedge which'll give us privacy, protection, wildlife, a supply of kindling and fruit.
Because there are around 15 native species in the soil, our kids will also learn the different properties and how to recognise them.
