Tree watering volunteers required!
On Saturday 21st February, Peter Walker gave a guided tour of our ten newly planted trees to a party of residents: Elisabeth Le Vierge; Keith Pritchard; Peter West; Roy Collard; and Roger Hennessey. The group were first shown the initial plantings of the ornamental grove located near the electricity substation, and the new Hornbeam presented by Greenfields (our tree contractors) near the mound, half way up the Drive. At the extreme end our estate, inside the boundary near the Hatherley Lane bus stop, there is now a young Mountain Ash, replacing an older one that had to be felled.
All to the good – but young trees are vulnerable and we have lost a few in the past, partly through their receiving insufficient moisture in their early stages of growth.
Accordingly: Volunteers required! If you are interested in joining a watering rota, particularly for the three newcomers in the ornamental grove, please contact Peter Walker, phone number: 01242 515 527.
