the Diamond Jubilee Plantation, on the common, just below the rugby club, m

he 15th of August starting in Wye House Garden, then moving on t
o the trees in Waitrose car park as well as those in Priory Gardens, St Mar
y’s and St Peter’s churchyards. We intend to prune the damson and plums which
can only be done at this time of year. As well as this we will give any ap
