Longleat June 2010

We have received many compliments on the lovely  trees we have in the High Street each year at Christmas.   Perhaps what people are not aware of is that these are chosen in June from Longleat.

The 4,500 acres of forest are managed by Rodney Garton, the Head Forester, who has been at Longleat since 1973.   Rodney has helped us to chose trees for many years now and I am sure everyone will agree the choices have been great.

Open Surgery: the last Thursday of every month at 117 High Street
