Visit and Tree Planting - New Covent Garden Market 2022

The Worshipful Company of Fruiterers planted a symbolic nine elms in Nine Elms on June 22, to mark a visit by 30 liverymen to New Covent Garden Market. The trees were planted on a rewilding site to be known as the Butterfly Garden close to the entrance of the Market. They will not only add to the diversity and sustainability of the environment in Nine Elms, London’s newest district situated on the south bank of the River Thames between Vauxhall and Battersea, but also eventually play their natural role as host trees in the breeding cycle of one of the country’s threatened butterflies, the White-letter Hairstreak.
