We are planning to grow a hedge of spekboom trees between the Spar and our parking area. There is a patch of grass between them and us where they will be planted, which means the trees won’t interfere with the parking area, but will screen the Spar’s rather unsightly plumbing and roofing elements from us.
The grass patch is just over 60m long, and we therefore estimate we would need just over 120 – 130 saplings. We have started a collection and would welcome donations of saplings that have been transplanted into small containers – please see the garden bed on the right hand side of the church doors for examples. They should preferably be approximately 50 – 100cm in height before being planted.
This project is going to take a few months to reach fruition, so please consider dropping off a sapling or two – or three or four! Each one helps!
