Proposal

Cherry Laurel, shown are a green circle marked "1" on the site plan. We would like to fell the laurel because it's overgrown and blocking light into the garden year-round. We would like to replace it with a variety of native deciduous and flowering hedge shrubs that will be good for wildlife, such as hawthorn, blackthorn, bird cherry, dog rose, and flowering currant.
