Apple Day
We celebrated Apple Day on Sunday 21st October. Local and regional apples
were in store to
taste and buy, and experts were on hand to help any prospective apple
growers get started. There was apple bobbing, and the chance to make apple
juice with an apple press. It was a great day. Thanks to everyone who
participated.

Wollemi Pine: Grow your own living fossil
It is now possible to grow a plant which
existed during the time of the dinosaurs. The Wollemi Pine grew in vast
forests 90 million years ago and was believed to have become extinct 2
million years ago. In 1994, however, a small group of Wollemi Pines were
discovered growing deep in the Blue Mountains of Australia. With less than
100 mature plants growing in the wild, the Wollemi Pine is now part of a
worldwide conservation effort.
The Wollemi Pine is a conifer with attractive,
unusual dark green foliage and unique chocolate brown bubbly bark. It is
hardy to -12C, easy to grow and low maintenance and makes a stunning patio
or indoor plant, or is great as a feature plant for large gardens. The
Wollemi Pine made its debut at Chelsea this year and is now available to buy
at Chepstow Garden Centre.
Chepstow Garden Centre’s Plant Area Manager
Mervyn Reed says, “This is a great opportunity to grow a piece of history
and to participate in the conservation of one of the oldest and rarest
plants in the world.” |
