It was a crisp frosty morning in Richmond. Some might have shied away from being out in -2 degrees, but not us. Led by our resident hardly Canadian, we set out to plant some trees! Midlands Hawthorne, and Black Thorne were the species we settled in to new surroundings. After the usual safety briefing – “Plant the tree too deep .. it will die! Plant the tree too shallow … it will die! If you get pricked by Black Thorne, and get sick.. tell you’re doctor!!” – we dug 50 muddy holes and planted out all the trees. Welcoming them to their new home, just near to Rosie’s duck pond, we headed off for coffee and to take in the amazing view from Richmond Hill. Welcome to Emma and Cameron doing their Second and First Goodgym tasks for Richmond! Nice to meet you guys!

And Emma added a message: Great to get outside and meet new people! Planted native trees in Petersham Common :)
