Report:  This event was fully booked, so five people, the maximum allowed under the government’s Covid-19 regulations, spent about 90 minutes walking around the area, discussing the trees growing there, and gratefully enjoying their shade.  Species seen included cedar-of-Lebanon (Cedrus libani), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), and the remains of Dr Johnson’s mulberry (Morus nigra) tree.
