Little oaks to mighty trees
These little oaks are flexing their green fingers, growing mighty trees in the garden of their north Bournemouth nursery.
Toddlers at the Little Oaks Nursery at Oakmead College of Technology have planted some thirty wild cherry, silver birch and rowan saplings, and there are plans to double this.
The Duck Lane nursery registered for the free trees after pupils, staff and parents collected supermarket vouchers.
“The children loved getting involved, planting the trees in their garden,” said nursery manager, Sue Williams.
“Not only does it introduce them to hands-on horticulture at an early age but it helps the school be sustainable.”
