Seed Collecting Has Started – Summer 2015

August 16, 2015 by Tree Nursery Volunteers Leave a Comment

In July we started collecting Wild Cherry seeds from Crawfordsburn Country Park and our own orchard in the nursery. We said ‘Goodbye’ to Jon and are awaiting new arrivals in September.

Nerea, Spain:
In Tree Nursery Roxane and me recollected yellow raspberry a kind of raspberry that I have never seen before, but the flavour is awesome!

 

For a few days we went to Derry to work with a group of Italians. We showed them some invasive plants in Northern Ireland, their impact and methods to eliminate them. As well, we went to visit some interested places around Derry.

We can enjoy free live music every Sunday (during July and August) in Ward Park (Bangor). Just a five minutes from the Volunteer’s house!

Last weekend we visited Javier in Newcastle and walked around the Mourne Mountains. 

 

 

Another amazing month in Northern Ireland.”
