Village Hall has Roots

 A select gang of worthy Villagers helped plant three trees beside the new Village Hall recently

A select gang of worthy Villagers helped plant three trees beside the new Village Hall recently

Three trees were paid for from the collection taken at Jocelyn Russell‘s 100th birthday party and replace the copper beech Jocelyn had planted some years ago that was removed to make way for the new Hall.

This tree is a Sweet Gum (Liquidamber styraciflua Worplesdon). The tree planted between the two buildings is a Flowering Pear (Pyrus Calleryana Chanticleer) and a third – an Oak has been planted beyond the football pitch.

Really helpful advice was received from the North Dorset Tree Officer Sandie Saunders, our resident arboricultural expert Peter Palmer supervised and Mark Farwell generously provided a digger to make the holes and carry the heavier trees.
