Cambridge Botanical Gardens
Although gardens like Kew are more widely known slightly closer to home is the rather wonderful Cambridge University Botanic Gardens https://www.botanic.cam.ac.uk I’ve visited twice, once in Spring and once in Autumn and it’s a wonderful garden at both these times with plenty to see and of interest to my non-arborist companions too. Only a short […]

The tree albeit only 50 years old had grown to well over 35 metres and was undermining the foundations of the vicarage. Unfortunately it had to be removed. Many a tourist stopped to watch the […]
