Seats carved from Arboretum Trees |

| Several
of the trees removed from the Arboretum were retained and handed to Andrew
Frost, A wood sculptor who uses a chainsaw to carve works of art
from whole trees. Andrew was
commissioned to produce a series of seats for the play area, these were
put in place on Tuesday April 12th 2005.
