Tree Planting - Green School (October-2011)
On October 6th, to celebrate National Tree Day, the Green School Committee, with Ms. Eda Walshe, organised a Tree Planting in front of Rosary School. It was a cold day, and we were huddled together!
Andy prepared a huge hole, and we planted the tree.
It is a Rowan / Sorbus aucuparia / Caorthann:
Also known as the mountain ash, due to its leaf structure. A small tree, it is tolerant of poor soils (which is where it gets the name mountain ash) and makes a good coloniser. The berries provide food for birds, which help spread the tree.
We look forward to seeing it grow.
