Seed to Sapling

Join us for a special 6 mile walk that will take us behind the scenes at Hillier’s renowned tree nursery in Liss, a name long associated with excellence in tree growing. Guided by Phil Hall, who manages the nursery, this rare visit will reveal what is grown here and the fascinating process of nurturing a tree from seed to sapling before it is carefully lifted and planted elsewhere. Alongside this insider’s glimpse into the life of a tree, the walk itself offers plenty to enjoy: a leafy circuit through Petersfield’s answer to Surrey’s St George’s Hill, where substantial houses sit quietly among woodland. It’s a beautiful, peaceful setting for a walk full of discovery.
