Twinning Trees
When last year’s delegation from Leichlingen visited, they brought with them a very special present: five fruit trees.
These trees have now been planted in the Henley New Forest, which has been created as part of the Henley in Transition project.
Leichlingen is known as die Blütenstadt (town of the blossom) thanks to its history as a major fruit-growing centre in North-Rhine Westphalia.
“The idea is that people will come out and harvest (if the squirrels don’t get there first!)”
Patrick Fleming, Chairman of HLTA
