Laburnum Tree cutting the Royal Pavilion Garden

You may have seen the Garden team at work in the Pavilion Garden last week. They have been removing the Laburnum trees near the entrance to the Pavilion.

The three trees were originally planted close together to create a significant ‘wow’ factor during the flowering season. As the garden has matured their shape has been impacted upon by overcrowding and now detracts from the Regency character of the garden.

The removal of the trees is part of the ongoing maintenance for the Restoration of the Garden. It is another step in preparing the Garden for the planting of new trees and shrubberies that follow Regency Garden design principles.

As with all garden waste, the cuttings will be collected by a heavy green waste company to turn to compost. This is in keeping with the Garden team’s practice of nutrient recycling.
