The tree will form part of the Queen’s Green Canopy, a unique tree-planting initiative created to mark the Platinum Jubilee.

“The resident’s enjoyed the day and are so pleased with the newest addition to their garden. The tree’s love and care will become an ongoing part of the resident’s annual gardening club. We hope this will be the first of many trees to be planted in Burbage.” – said Hayley Langley, Home Manager.
