More trees in Old Buckenham

Anniversary plantings
On Monday 19 March two black poplar saplings were planted on the Green to celebrate the diamond wedding anniversary of Max and Pauline Bott. Pauline did the planting, assisted by John Fernihaugh. These plants have been raised by Pauline from cuttings taken from the rather rare and old female black poplar tree that exists on the village Green.



Today, Friday 23 March, was the time for another planting. This time it was a hornbeam tree planted to celebrate the golden anniversary of the Old Buckenham Womens’ Institute. Several members gathered on the Green to watch the tree being planted by two of the longest-serving members, Pauline Bartlett and Jean Wade.
