Oliver's Garden


Entering sophomore, Oliver, would like to share a landscape planting job he did in Cohasset!! 

"In the pictures below we planted 4 green mountain boxwoods, 5 oriental spruces, 3 Chamaecyparus, and 6 azaleas. This job was quite difficult due to the location being up a steep hill and the transportation of the trees and shrubs. Luckily we were able to safely lift the trees over an existing stone wall and transport them by a tree dolly and a small Vermeer mini skid steer up plywood sheets. I have learned many things such as leaning the tops of the trees forward and applying burlap to the cambium to lessen the damage when tying a rope to the cambium. This trick of pointing the top forward was a trick my family learned from haulka nurseries out of New Jersey.  This is my first big planting this year and I look to learning new things at work and at school next year!"

Great work Oliver!!
