sowing seed

Today was a momentous day which saw the propagation process begin for the first of our native seed, some harvested from less than a kilometre away and some harvested at Forktree itself.

Under the expert guidance of Jake Thornhill, our band of planters got to work. Step by step we:

  • lined trays with geofabric,

  • filled them with potting mix,

  • scattered the seed on the surface,

  • added a layer of gravel and potting mix to protect the seed,

  • and watered it all in.

And thus our first stock in the seed nursery was established. A first step - and from little things big things will grow.
