A Hersham garden centre has planted a Queen Elizabeth Tree in remembrance of Her Majesty.
All 16 of Squire's Garden Centres have chosen a British tree to plant to mark her reign, the branch in Hersham has chosen a Magnoli tree. Each is accompanied by a special dated commemorative plaque, titled ‘Queen Elizabeth’s Tree’.
Sarah Squire, chairman of Squire’s Garden Centres, said: “The planting of a special tree in each of our centres is a small way of thanking our late Queen for her long and outstanding service to our nation. Each centre team selected a tree that would be appropriate to be planted in their grounds and in a space that could be enjoyed for many years to come by our customers and future generations.”
