Last year we had to fell the three large oak trees in Sergeants Place as they had become diseased and potentially unsafe. We had feedback from residents telling us that they appreciated the extra light coming into their homes, so we were keen to replant smaller trees which would add colour to the gardens, without them growing too large.

We can report that Acacia have now planted eight ornamental cherry trees in the gardens. Each of the two main flower beds, surrounded by low hedges has four trees, two flowering in the Spring and the other two flowering in the Autumn.

Acacia have had a busy planting season and are now tidying and cutting back foliage ready for spring. Acacia have now also repaired the fence between Stirling Drive and The Grove.
