One of our Tree Guardian volunteers, Polly, organised a Saturday session on Brentwood Road, with locals Pippa, Nic, Holly, Derek and Marko. Staking three apple trees and giving them a spring pruning. The sun was shining and everyone enjoyed a bit of strength training, post ramming stakes, weighing about 15kg. Great fun.
January can be a long blue month, chatting to passing locals about the trees brings us a smile. Saying hello to strangers in the morning can make you feel happier throughout the rest of the day, latest evidence suggests. A new study has found that individuals who chat to people they don’t know are more likely to feel happier than those who choose to ignore strangers in the street. Join us and give it a go.
