Barcham was honoured by a private visit from His Majesty The King!

We were all very thrilled to show His Majesty The King around Barcham on Monday. The private tour included a walk through our potting barn and young tree production area and culminated with His Majesty planting an Acer platanoides Princeton Gold to mark the start of the main avenue in our newly forming arboretum. On our walk back we stopped off to see a batch of recently potted Fotheringhay Oak in 45 litre containers; we collected the acorns from this tree six years ago.

His Majesty was quick to engage in conversations with many of our staff along the way so there were many cherished memories of the day!

Such sad news about the passing of our beloved Queen yesterday. A great Lady who will be sadly missed at Barcham.
We will be planting an Acer campestre Queen Elizabeth in our Arboretum this autumn to honour and cherish her memory.
As Warrant Holder to Her Majesty the Queen we were and will forever remain extremely proud of this association.
Our heart felt condolences go to The Royal Family for their loss.
