Friends of Easebourne Parish have been very busy planting 11 Jubilee trees in Carbon Corner in Eastbourne Park. The trees form part of the community orchard and include varieties of apples, a quince, two pears and a cherry.
Thank you Sara Davies, Phil Stringer, Frank Davies, Ian Milne (who took the picture!) and Jon Clarke.
The group will shortly be planting daffodils and crocus in the Park all ready for Spring 2023.
We understand from the Midhurst Vision Team that the feedback so far has been very positive but the more people who complete the very short survey the better – it is literally only 3 questions. The number of respondents may influence if/how much funding is available to make some of these proposals a reality.
• Please fill in the survey yourself if you haven’t already – it only takes 5 minutes
• Please email your friends and colleagues who live/work in or Midhurst or Easebourne or just visit Midhurst to do it too

Easebourne Parish Council has invited Lawrence Trowbridge of Wildwood UK back to our award-winning Park to inspect the dens and trails he created five years ago to back up the clean bill of health given to Easebourne Park by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) annual inspection in the summer.
The Dens and Trails wooden structures in Easebourne Park will be closed on Wednesday 12th October 2022 for essential maintenance. All other park play equipment will be open as usual. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
