Heeling In

Last year parent helpers took cuttings from the wildlife area and we used them to plant a hedge.  We now had to move the hedge to fit in with plans for the new Peace Garden.

We dug up all the plants (dogwood, hazel and dog-rose) and have heeled them in to a raised beg.  This means the plants have been laid flat and had their roots covered over.  When we create a new hedge in the peace garden we will re-plant these plants in it.  For now the plants don't mind being moved because they are dormant (asleep for the winter).
