Our last plants field trip (ever! snif--) was to Grelen Nursery northeast of Charlottesville. The site was unbelievably beautiful, especially in the changing light of passing spring storms. The red clay, bright grass, dark clouds, and delicate emerging greens, whites, and reds of the leaves were stunning together.
We learned a bit about the business side of things, how they plant and maintain the trees, and watched them use a tree spade and ball-and-burlap a tree.
