It was the right choice as it has small roots and not likely to egress into the Ice House.<\/p>\n<h5>Twinning<\/h5>\n<p>Our President lead the honour of planting to mark the SI Hertford and District Soroptimist Centenary celebration, as part of the QGC.\u00a0 \u00a0The Rowan will bring colour and shade in the summer to the Castle grounds.\u00a0 To emphasise its placement, it sits alongside a twin planted the same day, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdaherts.org.uk\/\">Community Development Action<\/a> (CDA).\u00a0 We are both on the <a href=\"https:\/\/queensgreencanopy.org\/map-education-hub\/qgc-map\/#\/\">QGC map<\/a>, take a look by Zooming into Hertford on the map.<\/p>\n<h5>Planting<\/h5>\n<p>Kate Belinis DL (our <a href=\"http:\/\/Club Officers 2021 - 2022 | SI Hertford and District Title Separator Site title Separator SIGBI\">SI Hertford and District President<\/a>) was joined by Lord Lieutenant of Hertfordshire Robert Voss CBE CStJ DL, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertford.gov.uk\/the-mayor-of-hertford\/\">Mayor of Hertford<\/a> Councillor Bob Deering and the Chair of East Herts District Council Councillor Ken Crofton.\u00a0 <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you to everyone, including our esteemed guests, who braved the cold and enjoyed the crisp sunshine.\u00a0 Essentially, we commemorated the Jubilee year by planting our Rowan tree.
