A total of 117 air-prune pots were distributed to the municipalities of Saanich, Victoria, and Langford. Most of these seedlings were grown from acorns in two growing seasons or less.
The best part is that the recipients are well prepared to provide the establishment care these seedlings need to reach their full potential.
Even more exciting, the City of Victoria’s Supervisor of Horticulture and Manager of Parks visited our nursery to inspect the quality of our air-pruned stock. We are happy to share that they were very pleased with what they saw, expressed strong interest in our trees, and were eager to explore further collaboration—especially around tracking the location and establishment of GOMPS seedlings in the community.
Thank you to everyone who helped pull this order together, as well as those who assisted with the additional orders fulfilled from our nursery stock. It was a true team accomplishment.
It is also wonderful to see two big new gaps on the nursery fabric, making plenty of room for our 2025 acorns.
