Seed Gathering Season: Stories from community tree nurseries

Have you ever wondered how a community tree nursery gets started? Join us for this Seed Gathering Season online talk as community tree nurseries share their experiences of growing trees from seed and bringing people together through local tree-growing projects.

You will hear real stories about how different nurseries got started, the challenges and successes they've encountered, and the practical steps involved in establishing and running a community tree nursery. Speakers will also share advice for anyone interested in starting their own project, from finding a site and sourcing seed, to engaging volunteers and building a community.

Alongside the practicalities, we'll explore the wider benefits of community tree nurseries, including the positive impacts on wellbeing.

Whether you're an experienced tree grower, part of a community group, or simply curious about what community tree nurseries do, this session will show that growing trees locally is something anyone can be part of.
