Rainforest Nursery GC - greening the neighbourhood...

September 20th saw Rainforest Nursery GC's first planting at another school. Neighbours Dover Court kindly accepted nine of our saplings raised from seed in our nursery on Dover Campus. We hope their students enjoy the shade and beauty as much as we enjoyed planting them. Hot dry weather over the weekend was a real worry (trees get stressed when leaving their pots!) but Rahul's rain dance ensured a good downpour on Monday so the young trees should survive and thrive in their spacious grounds. If you know of another school that might be grateful for some of our trees, do let us know - we are keen to spread our success story and make Singapore a greener place for all.

Well done to all the tree-planters who worked in very hot conditions:L-R: Nina Bengttson, Aaeysha Fazaal, Rahul Thayil, Sabrina Chui, Saanj Gupta, Jared Goh, Ella McAuliffe, Ana Koczanowski and members of the Dover Court Estates team.Photos courtesy of Frankie Meehan (who dug the most holes too!)
