After learning about trees and the art of Hedgelaying last Autumn, the children of Bhaktivedanta Manor school embarked on a project to further enhance the wildlife at Bhaktivedanta Manor and the beauty of the hedgerow along the main drive. In consultation with Donato Cinicolo, our professional hedgelayer and with the help and support of Uddhava, the head gardener, the children planted over hundred trees of crabapple, wild plum, wild cherry and spindle. Over the next few months the children will be carefully observing the hedgerow for changes and monitoring the wildlife. They will be entering into a National green competition based on their learning, both theoretical and practical throughout this activity.
