The Canford Arboretum has been enriched with the planting of two rare and unusual trees, generously donated by Ed and Fiona Marley, owners of Pinnacle Plants International. Their daughters, Tessa and Imi, former pupils in Marriotts House, left in 2020 and 2024.
The Marley's wanted to give back to the school where their daughters thrived, contributing a Large-winged Wingnut (Pterocarya macroptera var. insignis) and a Chinese Red Birch (Betula utilis subsp. albosinensis 'Chinese Garden'). With guidance from Resident Arboriculturist Nathan Scheller, the trees were planted at the southern end of the Adby astro, where they will have the space and light to grow to their full potential.
Ed Marley commented, "Tessa and Imi really enjoyed their time at Canford and, as parents, we also loved coming to the school, so we all wanted to give something back."
