Crawley garden centre plants tree to commemorate the passing of Queen Elizabeth II
A garden centre in Crawley planted a tree to remember the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Squire’s Garden Centre in Crawley named the commemorative tree, Queen Elizabeth’s Tree, in remembrance of the late monarch.
This was a part of a planting programme which took place at all its 16 centres across Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, North and West London.
Following the passing of Her Majesty, each centre chose a British tree to plant in its centre as a way of marking the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. This was accompanied by a special commemorative plaque entitled ‘Queen Elizabeth’s Tree’.
Centre Manager at Squire’s Crawley, Tracy Whitaker said: “We planted a Rowan tree (‘Sorbus Aucuparia’) which we are sure will be a wonderful addition to Squire’s Crawley’s outside area.
