This weekend (20/21st March 2021) we distributed and planted 67 trees to Thame, Brill, Moreton, Sydenham and Princes Risborough.
Thanks to the sponsorship mainly from Lucy Electric but also some donations from other companies (logos shown below) we were able to purchase 57 different varieties of fruit trees and 10 birch.
We are pleased to have been able to source the trees locally.
The fruit trees were purchased from Bernwode Fruit Trees based locally in Ludgershall. We spent £1000 to buy 45 trees and Bernwode Fruit Trees kindly donated another 12.
The birch were purchased from Waterperry Gardens.
Thanks to Dan Gonzalez and Ian Starodub for all their work to arrange the purchase of this batch of trees.
Thanks also to Jack of BananaMove Couriers and Chris of Oak Garden Machinery for helping get the trees, in tact, from Ludgershall to their forever homes.
We are very much looking forward to seeing these grow and maybe even to taste the fruit.
