More Seating

Good news! We have recently taken delivery of half a dozen large picnic benches. These benches were originally sited on the main campus. However, they have become surplus to requirements and we have managed to procure them.

They were in a bit of a grubby state and so have all been pressure washed with excellent results. It would be nice to stain them all, but the current poor weather has made this impossible.

Three will remain in place near the top of the arboretum where they are currently being used to great effect by visiting schools and educational classes. The rest will shortly be moved to other locations within the arboretum.
