Last Monday saw the annual Health and safety day here. The entire staff was collected together for updates on current practices before splitting out into groups, for refresher training on relevant equipment.
The Arboriculture team and landscape teams had refresher courses on all the different equipment that they use, to make sure that they are safe while in your garden. Boys (and girls) with toys.
The Plant centre team caught up on pest and diseases especial some of the more problem ones like Oak Processionary Moth. After that a tour of the nursery to look at all the lovely plants that we have to sell this year. We also looked at the growing trial of peat free compost growing against peat based compost (one of Merlin’s pet projects). The results are amazing and not really what we thought with the peat free trial plants being bigger and bushier than the ones grown in our normal compost mix.
This was an unusual day when we were all on the nursery together.
