Even the mighty oak has to start life somewhere🌱

Collected locally in Autumn 2025 and sown straight away into rodent proof boxes as oak acorns are one of a handful of tree seeds which cannot be stored.

These little trees will be well looked after and protected from the worst of the harsh coastal conditions to supply hardy and healthy whips by winter 2027/8.

Looking leafy and lush!

Guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) coming along nicely in its shady pallet boxes.

Although it may smell like wet dog when we are processing the red red fleshy fruits to extract the seed, its worth it for the end product!

Now taking pre orders for the upcoming 2026-27, just drop an email to [email protected]

We loved welcoming our newest funders Action Renewables to the tree nursery this week!

We gave Terry the grand tour and highlighted all the positive work their funding will help to secure now and into the future.

Thanks to Landscapes NI for helping us build our relationship with Action Renewables, we look forward to seeing what we can achieve as a partnership for nature and the community.

Why is our tree nursery based in a prison grounds? Simple…

We’re a social enterprise with a strong belief that connecting with nature changes lives.

That’s why we give prisoners the chance to support their rehabilitation, work on skills development and boost their employment prospects.

Plus, it’s a chance to be among nature in an environment lacking in green space.

To order simply contact us to request our latest price list.

Rolling on the river 🎶

In partnership with sea2it and Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs we are spending 10 days over the course of summer and autumn surveying and collecting native tree seed stock along the lower Bann from Portglenone to Coleraine.

We plan to have seeds genetically tested to establish the provenance of the material, in keeping with our ethos of locally sourced and grown tree stock.

What a day to be on the water! 🌞 Many thanks to our river captain Adam!

Every now and then we stop and think 'wow...this landscape is our workplace!'

Yesterday lunchtime was one of those days 🌞🐾

🌳 Growing trees together does more than ‘just’ grow a tree…

From the inmates we work with to workshop visitors and volunteers, getting hands on with nature brings real wellbeing benefits.

Plus, the satisfaction of supporting native provenance trees AND ecological resilience in the face of climate change too.
