Getting Ready for Goderich...

I have a backlog of all my pictures with all the loading and preparation we did for the parade of trees that we participated in this past Saturday, November 10th, 2012 in the Town of Goderich.  It was a huge success.  But I will have more on that shortly.  I think I should go into some detail of how it all coordinated before the actual parade.  The nursery was a hub of activity this past week, from digging to loading.  And of course, these are not just small trees - they are huge.  With many milestones and unexpected things happening we managed to get it done.  It was all very exciting and we are still in the process with much more to do.  But here is a glimpse of the hard work behind the scenes.  Most of these trees are too big to be dug with a tree spade and require hand digging and to be drum strung.  It is better for the survival of the trees as we know exactly where the roots end.  As you can see from the pictures it is a lot of hard work and requires special transportation.  Out of the 150 trees we have for Goderich - this is only a glimpse.  We are still digging.  If anyone was at the parade and saw the first planting on Saturday - there are still bigger specimens to arrive. As you can see from the pictures below - we still have alot of trees still to come..
