Midhurst Town Council organised a celebratory tree planting, to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The eight trees have been planted as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy at Carron Lane Recreational Ground. A variety of trees have been planted with seasonal interest and colour considered. The trees were generously donated by MADhurst Music Arts & Drama Festival, Midhurst & Easebourne FC, Methodist Church and Mischief Makers, Rother Valley District Guides, Rotary Club of Midhurst & Petworth, Midhurst Lions and Heyshott Cobden Hall Charity and Midhurst Town Council.
