Rosendale Nature Garden

We noticed how some trees in the nature garden have dropped their leaves (deciduous) whilst others keep their leaves all year round (coniferous). We then looked at the different types of soil found nearby and how they differ from each other. Soil is the upper layer in which plants grow, usually consisting of a mixture of organic remains, clay, and rock particles.

  Today we planted Christmas tree cuttings in the hope they will one day become our trees of the future. After filling the pots with earth we soaked the cuttings before applying some rooting powder and securing the cutting in the pot. It might take a year or two, but fingers crossed…
