New tree planted by Society

This generosity has now been returned to the town by the Society using the money to pay for a new tree in Horsham Park, to replace one that has died.

On the advice of Mark Pullen, HDC Tree & Woodlands Officer, the tree that has been chosen is a Ginkgo biloba – the Maidenhair tree. It is very long lived and will grow to a substantial height providing spectacular yellow autumn colour.

It was been planted today [March 5] near to the Leisure Centre by David Moore, Chairman of the Horsham Society, and Ross Calvert, Branch Manager of Waitrose’s Horsham store.

David Moore said: “We are delighted that through the generosity of Waitrose and its customers we can help to enhance the beauty of our wonderful Park for generations to come.”
