October 2001 - John Rash comes to visit

John came with 3 slabs, 30 trees, tonnes of moss, soil, muck and some great ideas!

John explains his drawings & plans
The first of 3 boards to hold the groups
The main tree had been jinned and bleached
Wires were added to the base for stability
The largest of the 3 boards
Muck wall added and main tree in place
Trees were added progressively and according to the plan that John had drawn.
Another great crowd, full of interest
Barry helps John put the main group together

Great job, John!
