Batsford Arboretum has installed a new information board beside its Hiroshima ginkgo trees, sharing their origins and message of peace with visitors. The trees continue to thrive and have grown noticeably.

On July 22, Mr. Nobuyuki Fujioka visited GLH to give an update on Hiroshima Gingko trees growing in the Batsford Arboretum, not far from where he lives. Ginkgo seeds were donated to Batsford Arboretum by GLH in 2015, thanks to the efforts of Hideko Yamada, one of our original pillars. We were thrilled to find that nine Gingko trees are now growing healthily, together in a grove, at the Arboretum.
