Tomorrow at 1pm our very own arborist Sam will be holding a tour for the @urbantreefest, see their website to book a ticket.
You can also join us Wednesday for a volunteering session starting at 10am where Christine can treat you to a tour as well if interested.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Open day yesterday! It was great fun!
Abdou Akarne, our regular volunteer has really brightened up the place with this Marshes inspired artwork.
Thank you to all the musicians; wing-it singers, the Bagpipe band, @benjamanning, Nat, Gail and the @morrisfolkchoir. Hannah, Claire & Tessa for entertaining the little ones.
Tim, Goldi, Sam & Christine for holding such interesting talks & tours. And thanks to everyone manning the plant and refreshments stalls, and everyone who baked a cake.👏
We can't for next year!!

Planting trees is one thing. Building thriving ecosystems around them is another.

We’ve partnered with the Tree Musketeers @tm_hackney to enhance the six tree biomes in Millfields park with ground flora to support pollinators. We’ve already had great success putting 5000 English bluebells into the native biome, which are now providing habitat for ground-nesting bees. This year we’re going to fill the other five.

We’re starting with the East Asian biome. Last week Hackney Buzzline volunteers went to the Tree Nursery on Hackney Marshes to plant 50 Japanese anemone roots - enough to fill a pallet full of pots.

Japanese anemones are a perennial plant native to China and cultivated for centuries in Japan. They naturalise well in woodland areas and are on the RHS ‘Perfect for Pollinators’ list.

We’ll plant them out in September and once they establish they should spread quickly, filling another biome with beautiful flowers in future years.

We're less than two weeks away from our annual Open Day.
Join us for a fun packed day at the Hackney Community Tree Nursery!
We have tours, talks, music and more through-out the day.
We have two choirs performing from 2pm, a jazz trio at 3pm and a bagpipe band at 4pm.
We'll hold a propagation talk in our polytunnel at 1:30pm, a Herbs talk with herbal tea at 2:30pm and a talk on bees at 3:30pm (talking about our honey bees but also our solitary bees).
Join us 🌳

So lovely to hear the sprinkles of the irrigation system come on at the nursery this morning. We're expecting another dry summer and have watering teams across some of Hackney parks. You can find these on our website.
We're also open today and every last Saturday of the month 10am - 3pm.

Just before the end of the planting season we provided trees to Springfield Marina, @leevalleypark planted by berth holders with a few Musketeers in the mix.

Can't wait to see how they grow and so happy to see Lea Valley increasing the number of trees on their site.

We would love to see everyone at our Open day on the 10th May. They'll be fun for everyone and lots of tree based activities, plus take home your own tree or plant grown in #Hackney from our sale.
Running on the second day of the @urbantreefest

@peteburkehimself has made this wonderful slideshow from photos taken over the last couple of years volunteering at the nursery.
Thanks Pete! ❤️

We're wrapping up the Winter planting season. 68 trees planted at Tree Musketeer events, 252 whips planted, over 100 of our trees planted by other organisations. And since we made this we've had school children plant another 30 trees.
Get involved with our tree care groups on our website to help us look after these trees in their first few years.
