Five new trees have been planted in Ludlow as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Ludlow Town Council, working in partnership with Incredible Edible Ludlow, planted five fruit trees at Wheeler Road recreation area as part of the Mayor’s tribute to The Queen in Her Majesty’s Jubilee Year.
Mayor, Robin Pote, said: “Civic leaders across the UK, on the same day, planted a tree to mark this special occasion - the seventieth day of the year in which The Queen marks the seventieth anniversary of her accession. The tree planting is a major initiative as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy project.
We are really pleased to be able to mark this occasion in collaboration with Incredible Edible Ludlow and hope these fruit trees will be a success for local residents.”
Member of Incredible Edible Ludlow, Tish Dockerty added: ‘It’s great to plant these apple trees in a public space, there will be fruit to bear in the autumn for years to come, we must encourage locals to the area to pick the fruit and eat it."
