    Story

    thank you to all that already donated but we still need a little bit more. I met the council and we talked about the tree and bench. Firstly as there is no plinth available in Green park so we still need another £410(baring in mind just-giving take a percentage) I will share all the invoices for the tree & bench so can prove to everyone how much it costs (been in charge of the money I want to ensure everyone knows where their money is going)Placement of the tree and bench - we discussed the area near the where the old fountain used to be but one of the council men spoke to his colleague who takes care of green park and said that is a high risk are for vandalism as it is quite private (this last two weeks kids have burnt a tire up there and stripped a tree of its bark!) I do not want to risk that happening to Melissa's tree or bench! So we decided to make it more open. Children like to play in the park so we are having then bench along the path that looks onto the park (inline with the other benches) the tree will be between the bench and the park in a nice big open space. It will be a seedling plant so will need lots of sun to help it grow. With it placed here people can sit on the bench in full view of the tree but still in view of the park where the little ones can play (the tree when fully grown will look over the park, Melissa looking over her loved ones children). The spot is marked where the bench will go with white crosses if you want to have a walk and see. A lot of thought went into making sure it was right. Some of the things the council discussed was vandalism, plenty of sun for the tree, good drainage for the foundations of the bench, near a pathway to make it accessible for people. Once they have received payment it will take approximately 16 weeks, I know we hoped for Christmas but at least this way the weather will be better for the tree in its early stages. Together we can do this! We just need a little bit more xxxx
