On 1st April 2011, Ridgeford Properties, the W1W Tree Trust, and Westminster Council welcomed TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh to Bolsover Street, London, to officiate the planting of elm and birch trees.
The planting celebrated the latest street in the east Marylebone area to be given the 'green treatment' as part of the W1W Tree Planting Initiative.
With the help of local primary school children from All Soul's Primary, Alan Titchmarsh planted the tree with help from the Lord Mayor of Westminster, who unveiled a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion.
With the financial support of local businesses including Ridgeford Properties and the Manhattan Loft Corporation, elm trees can now be found outside the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital's state-of-the-art diagnosis centre, which was developed as part of a joint venture by both companies.
