Lady Arran from Castle Hill Estate, Filleigh (pictured above) planted a tree in South Molton for the Queen’s Green Canopy campaign - an initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, which invites people from across the United Kingdom to ‘Plant a Tree for the Jubilee’ this year.

“It was a great honour to be invited to take part,” said Lady Arran. “This is the first of many events which the community are involved with as part of the jubilee celebrating Her Majesty’s 70 year reign.”

Organised by Sue Harrison, the South Molton in Bloom coordinator, three trees were planted in a garden area alongside the Sheep Pen car park behind the Amory Centre on January 13th. A Prunus Pink Parasol was donated by Molton Monthly gardening correspondent Ash Moor Nursery, Lady Arran provided a Styrax Japonica Snow Fountain, and the South Molton in Bloom team planted a Euonymus Red Cascade.

If you would like to get involved in the 2022 South Molton in Bloom, the AGM is at 7pm on February 21st at The Coaching Inn.
