This tree planting is in the Sturry Road Community Garden (which has been created on a landfill site to the east of Canterbury). Trees are being planted along side the fence of the park and ride near the garden. As part of National Tree Week, Breathing Places and its partners invited thousands of people to plant as many trees as possible in the hour between 11am and 12 noon on Saturday 5 December 2009. This is to break a Guinness World Record. The existing world record for trees planted by hand by any number of people within a single hour is 653,143.
