People at Churchill Living’s Woolmans Lodge development in Shirley came together last week to plant a tree in celebration of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
On Friday 4th March apartment Owners and Colleagues were joined by Mark Tredwell, founder of the Woolmans Garden Centre that inspired the Lodge’s name, to help plant a Norway Maple sapling in the development’s communal gardens. The event was part of the “Queen’s Green Canopy” initiative, created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. With a focus on planting sustainably, the initiative encourages tree planting to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation, which will benefit future generations.
Bernadette Hennelly, Regional Marketing Manager for Churchill Living, said: “It was great to welcome everyone to this special event to kick off this year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations at Woolmans Lodge, and we’d like to say a big thank you to Mark for taking part. There are plenty more events happening soon at the Lodge to mark the Queen’s Jubilee year, and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a patriotic celebration and experience the lifestyle, friendship and sense of community on offer here.”
Churchill will plant over 40 trees at its retirement developments across the country this spring as part of the “Queen’s Green Canopy” initiative, helping to highlight the value of trees and woodlands as nature’s way to clean the air we breathe, slow the impact of climate change, create important wildlife habitats and improve our general health and wellbeing. Further information on the initiative is available at queensgreencanopy.org
