On Saturday, April 27, the Mon Sheong/DiSCOVER group led us to tree planting!  This was part of a city-wide initiative to plant trees and there were so many volunteers there.  I was quite pleasantly surprised!

I’ve always wanted to plant trees!  The first time I wanted to plant trues was back in high school when I saw a poster in the hallways promoting a tree-planting day.  Unfortunately, back then, as much as I wanted to go, there was no friend to accompany me, and I was too shy to go alone to the event.  Back in high school, I usually went to events with friends or not at all.  So not the case now!  I also remember that the day the event happened, it was raining which made it harder to actually go if I really really wanted to.

Here are some pictures that I took.  I think the process is pretty self-explanatory. 🙂

It was a gorgeous Saturday morning.

Baby trees; more like twigs lol

They only had children’s size gloves left!

Tree planting accomplished! 🙂

So, I’m grateful for this chance to have planted a tree.  I hope I get to plant more trees in the future.  It’ll be nicer for the earth to look more green.
