Treefest
One of the great joys of Westonbirt is the year-round cycle of work that goes into making the tree collection such a vibrant place.
A friendly thanks!
The Friends had their first marquee dedicated to Membership at Treefest last month and it was a fantastic success. So we would like to thank all who made it happen and helped out.
Final Treefest carvings revealed!
