In early spring 2024 we planted a new cherry tree grove in the Furzey gardens arboretum.
The grove will provide a calm and tranquil space that is surrounded by wildlife and beauty for everyone that visits the gardens.
Planted by people with learning disabilities, the grove will offer opportunities to learn horticultural knowledge that includes planting and caring for new trees.
You can read more about the fundraiser here.
We are hugely thankful to the following generous supporters for helping bring the cherry tree grove to life:
