More buildings at Northminster Park, York, means more office blocks named after trees - which means yet more work for Johnsons of Whixley.

The firm, which is a finalist in this year's Evening Press Business Awards, is one of Britain's biggest providers of trees and shrubs, and it has been involved with Northminster Park from the beginning.

The types of tree used often take their cue from the tree names of the office blocks - with relevant specimen trees outside Cedar House and Chestnut House.

Even Box Tree House has as many as 25 miniature box trees forming patterns on the lawn outside.

The most recent planting project involves a number of semi-mature pine trees forming a small copse, planted well in advance of the latest buildings coming on stream next week.

But given that the next buildings are Cherry Tree House and Blackthorn House there are no prizes for guessing what Northminster will order next!
