Investing in the future is at the very core of Ed\u2019s.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Ed\u2019s business owners nurture their businesses to achieve both their financial and lifestyle goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some of our business owners also take active roles in community service. An Ed’s franchise provides the flexibility to pursue other interests such as these, alongside running a successful gardening business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew<\/a>, who runs his Ed’s gardening business in Chertsey<\/a> is a great example of this. Andrew has also a prominent and long standing volunteering role in his community. For over 20 years he has been an active member and leader of Runnymede Scouts District.

It is Andrew\u2019s Scouts District\u2019s 50th anniversary this year. This September, as part of a weekend of outdoor scouting fun, Cub Scouts from Runnymede District helped Andrew plant a commemorative copper beech tree. Ed\u2019s was very happy to sponsor this project.

Investing in the future is guaranteed when you plant a beech tree. Did you know that a beech tree was considered a symbol of knowledge and wisdom by Ancient Greeks? Furthermore, beech trees can live for 250 \u2013 400 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over to Andrew<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is what Andrew has to say about the project…

\u201cI have an outdoor job as well as being a Scout leader. Therefore, I know how much we all benefit from time spent outdoors in nature. So, I was delighted when Ed\u2019s HQ offered to cover the cost for the tree. Ed\u2019s turned our hopes for a living reminder of the 50th anniversary into reality.\u201c

\u201cAround 200 young people and adults attended Runnymede District Cub Camp for the District\u2019s 50th Anniversary this year (20-22nd September 2024) and to mark the occasion in an environmentally conscious way, the Cubs planted the commemorative tree.\u201d

\u201cThe tree planting event, which took place at Birchmere Campsite on September 21st, was part of a weekend of outdoor scouting fun. Cubs of all ages took part in a wide range of woodland themed activities. This was followed by a traditional campfire on Saturday evening.\u201d

\u201cOur new tree will contribute to the environment and be enjoyed by current and future Scouts for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s to the wellbeing and longevity of the newly planted beech tree. Ed’s also wishes Andrew all the best with the ongoing prosperity of his thriving Ed’s gardening business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
