tree planting at Eastcote House Gardens
On Tuesday March 14, there was a tree planting session held at Eastcote House Gardens.
In total 7 different trees were planted, most in the wild orchard area,outside the east wall of the walled gardm.
Two were dedicated to past and present gardeners and one by the Eastcote Churches.
Three others replaced some old trees and the final one, the Coronation tree, a favourite of King Charles, is a copper beech located close to the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee bed.
Thanks to our Ward Councillors, the two families and the Churches who contributed to the funding of this project

Use of Public Spaces
The London Borough of Hillingdon has a Public Spaces Protection Order in place until October 2023. It prohibits a number of activities in public spaces. Given the recent spate of anti-social behaviour in some of our public spaces, it is worth looking at the Order which can be found at PSPO Parks and Public Places. Bye laws 2022.
