On the 5th Otober 2021, to celebrate our 100th anniversary of the formation on of the Rotary Club of Walsall, we got together to install bench and plant a tree in the Walsalls Arboreatum Park.
The tree a Cersis Candensis Forest Pansy originates from Eastern North America, a small unusual tree having small magenta pink flowers which emerge in clusters on bare stems in the spring before the leaves ,sometimes on the trunk itself.
