At the end of March a new tree was planted in Pageant Gardens. The Sherborne & District Gardener’s Association sponsored a golden beech tree to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The Mayor of Sherborne, Cllr Juliet Pentolfe along with Town Clerk, Steve Shield were joined by representatives of the association for the planting.
Peter Neal, Chairman and John Pike, Treasurer of the Sherborne & District Gardeners Association were amongst those that came along to the event.
They said ‘We planted a Cherry tree not too far from here for our Gardeners Association’s Golden Jubilee in 1992, and thought that donating a tree to have planted in Pageant Gardens for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee would be a lovely way to celebrate her reign.’
