Chawton House young trees


Event Details


A day planting young whip trees.

Julia has said, “I’m beginning to plan the work on the 28th February, which will be in Mingledown and Adela Copses. We had a delivery of 1500 trees on Tuesday from South Downs Park to plant in the gardens and parkland; Jonny has begun preparing Mingledown for hedge and tree planting so although there may be further clearance work I hope to plant the majority of the trees on the 28th”
