During the last four months volunteers have continued with regular watering, weeding and mulching. The plants in the microforest have grown well and some are now in flower, despite the cooler weather.
The table below shows the rate of growth of several species since planting in April.
Some are growing more quickly than others. The groundcovers like Commelina and Einadia in particular are spreading extremely quickly and it may be necessary to cut some of these back to stop them from smothering nearby plants.
Spring Planting
The next stage of planting will take place on Saturday 14 October from
8.00AM to 12.00noon. All welcome!
