Well done Toyota and Planet Art for not only putting a lot of effort into National Trees day, but also encouraging us to get into the fresh air more.<br /><br />And on that note... the twins and I are going camping to Narrabeen tonight, think of us when it pours!!Seana Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225191303428309442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656835749120851376.post-34467384237015068302014-12-04T15:24:04.557+11:002014-12-04T15:24:04.557+11:00Edible plants......It's the way to go.Edible plants......It's the way to go.Desire Empirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993065698203243757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656835749120851376.post-86302555691299845262014-12-04T15:23:24.933+11:002014-12-04T15:23:24.933+11:00Looking back it was a great childhood.

But then the North Shore began to change as new migrants came into the area and after purchasing a property they razed the house and the greenery and huge homes were built with the rest of the land becoming concrete pavers. It was really sad to see. I've got to get my act together and start planting more edible plants xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656835749120851376.post-61971319017563566662014-12-03T22:10:47.306+11:002014-12-03T22:10:47.306+11:00Oh i never knew that there was a national tree day...Oh i never knew that there was a national tree day, I loved the video of the trees that gave everyone hugs, and how cool is that, giving a plant away to encourage everyone to turn a grey place into green!

Our kids are so much more stitched up and less free today, I agree.Desire Empirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993065698203243757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656835749120851376.post-74652690615548261102014-12-03T08:25:39.981+11:002014-12-03T08:25:39.981+11:00Love that you scored a hug from "tree man&quo...Love that you scored a hug from "tree man"!
