Ashton John’s Private School officially welcomed spring by planting a Combretum Erythrophyllum (Vaderlandswilg/ Bush Willow) on Monday September 1. In collaboration with Tigane Nursery and Cool Desk, this tree marks growth, renewal, and an ongoing commitment to a greener tomorrow. The Bush Willow is a proudly South African tree that provides shade, attracts birds, and stands as a symbol of strength and resilience.
