Tree O'Clock - Saturday December 5th

As part of National Tree Week, and to contribute to the "Tree O'Clock" World Record Attempt, on Saturday December 5th members of Garforth in Bloom planted a tree outside the new building. The tree is a prunus cerasifera.

To be eligible for the record attempt - which was to plant the most trees in the space of one hour and was taking place throughout the UK - the tree had to be planted between 11:00 and 12:00 on Saturday 5th. The BBC estimate that as many as 500,000 trees were planted throughout the country in the space of this hour.

Thank you Garforth in Bloom!!!
