Tending 800 tiny miracles

Always a giant pleasure to help tend Ladywell’s Tiny Forest, especially now the miraculous results of the Miyawaki method of planting are becoming clearer with each month of leafy growth. Thanks to deep decompaction of the soil and dense planting, native saplings that were just slender stems last May are today up to 3 metres tall! Regular weeding is an important task to ensure the 800 trees continue to get the light and nutrients they need to flourish throughout the growing season, so GoodGymers Kim, Khai and Linda joined the community treekeepers for an evening session of cheerful chopping, tidying and bindweed untangling to keep the forest in top condition. Excellent work everyone!
