Help us plant Sakura cherry trees

Join us on February 18th to plant Sakura cherry trees in the lawn in front of Washington Singer! We have been lucky enough to receive these special cherry trees from the Sakura Cherry Tree project, set up to commemorate the 150 years of Japanese and UK friendship and cooperation. We will be planting cherry trees between 13:00 and 15:00 – do feel free to drop in at any time and you don't have to stay for the full 2 hours.

For more informaitn abut the Sakura cherry project check out their webite https://japanuksakura.org/

What to bring:

• Weather appropriate clothing, and sturdy footwear such as wellies or walking boots/shoes – and you may get a little muddy. Weather appropriate will probably mean warm and waterproof in February!

• A drink of water/snacks

• Any medication that may be required (e.g. asthma inhaler, auto injector)

• Waterproofs
• Gardening gloves if you have them (we will supply if you don’t)
• If you wish to wear eye protection to keep poking twigs away, please bring your own.

Meeting point:

We will meet on the lawn outside Washington Singer, circled in yellow below.
