Yesterday Julian and Nicola went out with William to join up with Alex Morel and her team from Trees for Life to help plant whips that will form hedges at Millbrook park.
The first hedge that runs alongside the fence bordering the Glass Church is 'tamarisk' that will produce a pink flower. This species thrives in saline environments and also has drought tolerance.
We were joined by a group of volunteers from HSBC, but it was Maillards who had sponsored the trees.
This is an annual donation by the Company that plants a tree or 'whip' as a memory for each funeral that Maillards has managed in the previous year.
