7 Sherrardspark Road Welwyn Garden City AL8 7JW
Replacement hedgerows. The existing hedgerow was damaged on the left front side ("Hedgerow A") when hit by a falling tree. About half of Hedgerow A is a grown hedge, with a mix of what we believe to be wintergreen barberry, Japanese laurel, holly, and hornbeam. The other damaged half is a partially-grown mix of the same plants, plus weeds and other growth. Hedgerow B is a mix of wintergreen barberry, Japanese laurel, and hornbeam. Hedgerow C is hornbeam.
