Sakura Cherry Tree Project 2022
Today we added to our vast array of trees as part of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project, with help from our CEO Jill and some of our adult residents and School students!
The tree we planted are some of the 6,500 Japanese cherry trees – or Sakura in Japanese – given to the UK by Japan, and planted across the country in parks, gardens and schools to celebrate Japan’s relationship with the UK. St Elizabeth’s tree was given to us by our local MP, Julie Marson MP
The Sakura Cherry Trees will be distributed to over 400 schools and 160 sites in all four countries of the UK from St Ives to Aberdeen to Londonderry, Cardiff and several of London’s biggest parks. The project was formally launched with a planting ceremony at The Regent’s Park attended by HRH The Duke of Gloucester, the Japanese Ambassador Yasumasa Nagamine, Joint Chairman of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project Keisaku Sandy Sano and local schoolchildren.
