The Realise team, their wives, husbands, parents, children and friends all met on the weekend to take part in the long awaited ‘Realise Gift of Growth’. As promised at Christmas, instead of sending the usual Christmas cards to our clients and friends we would plant some trees which gave us the perfect opportunity to do something good for the environment……and drink some beer!
The younger ones show us how it's done!
We all had a wonderful day at Marden Manor and although it was slightly wet and cold and the trees didn’t turn up until the afternoon, the team remained positive and in excellent spirits. We planted 5 trees in total in and around the grounds of the manor and we all lent a hand doing a few odd gardening jobs as well. Andy enjoyed zooming around on the quad bike while Ed perfected his chainsawing skills!
A huge thanks goes to everyone who took part in the day: Richard, Rachel and co, Mary and Morton ‘tree-man’ Burdick, Simon (thanks for picking up the trees) Ali and the boys, Ali J for taking the shots and a special thanks to Gay and Nick for putting up with us all for the day and supplying us with food and drink.
...and here's one we planted earlier!
We’re now on the lookout for the next Realise jolly. If you have any suggestions and would like to take part please drop us a line!
Finlay lends a hand by bringing his own gardening tools along!
The team inspect their handy work!
Well done everyone!
Well done Realise Design for doing your bit for the environment. A great idea and it looks like a good fun day for those involved.
