Ģreat turnout of around 30 people this morning to plant trees from our Community Allotment Tree Nursery, donated to Wellingborough Town Council, to create a copse of Rowan trees for the Queen’s Green Canopy and one Oak for King Charles.
The Mayor, Jonathan Ekins, lead the planting, ably supported by Town Councillors, all three Town Council staff and two experienced estates staff from North Northamptonshire Council. Joanne, Deputy Clerk, who collected the trees, guards and stakes from us at our Community Allotment last Wednesday, had all of the trees lined up ready for us to plant.
We supplied 30 Rowan trees, which turned out to be the perfect number because it meant that everyone who wanted to, got to plant their own tree, including local athletics celeb Anita Neal.
We planted one for the local Councillor, Marion Turner-Hawes, who has been watering the trees all summer, but unfortunately missed this due to illness. Great morning, well organised, well done and thank you all. 🌱
