Today I was inspired by an article I read in ABC News online about planting seedlings for mental health (albeit in Tasmania). So I dug up some seedling gum trees that were growing rampant in my driveway and potted them in individual pots. These may later be distributed to those I know of who have space in their garden and desire a shady gum tree. They’re probably Blue gum as there is a large parent Blue Gum tree nearby. Today just might inspire me to be a more environmentally aware person in general. PS. I realised not all trees are good to plant as some really tall Blue gums are termed in the country ‘widowers’ and have a history of being cut down as they tend to fall on people and injure them. These gums I was growing are such a type!
