Tree (shrub) planting

Today, as a dojo, we planted around 300 plants! Pretty amazing!!!

Thanks to everyone who joined in, dug holes, planted, watered, weeded.

Here are some pics from Mati

Sensei and Q breaking the speed record for number of shrubs planted in an afternoon

q, giving nothing away, as always


Me looking crazy in gardening hat

Alnez choosing plants and adding sunshine to the day

David getting his back into it on some rough ground


Voytek and Rory showing how it's done


Kate, preparing for her gig at the empress... by planting native geraniums

Andrew giving the last of the pegs a seeing to


There were also some smaller folk that came along and did a great job and caught the planting bug!

Max, keeping the smiles coming


Dylan and Pipa, doing some beautiful planting work


Thanks again to everyone (and sorry if you missed out on a photo!). Looking forward to another round of planting next year!

Looks like you all did a great job and glad the weather held out. Sorry we couldn't be there - next year for us!
Well done, the creek and the frogs will be very grateful to you.
