Change Makers - Golden Time native tree planting and tidy up - September 2017

Friday was a great day weather wise and for the Green Thumbs team. We planted 30 new natives in our native bush area. 50% of these were cabbage trees and 50% hebes. These plants were generously donated by 'Trees for Canterbury'. We are hoping to receive some more natives soon. Once the planting was over - many hands make light work - we moved to the orchard, pruned the raspberries, did another rubbish pick up and removed some major weeds. Thanks again Chris, Jenny and Daniel for your support.
