      A fallen tree narrowly misses the Anne Frank memor A fallen tree narrowly misses the Anne Frank memorial tree in 47 Grove End Road’s garden, which just opened for class use, due to harsh winds Sept. 25. After the ASL gardeners and head of security worked to clear the debris, it was confirmed that no harm was done to the property. In response, one of the gardeners Ian Robinson said “we’ll probably check the other tree next to it, just to make sure that it is okay. And they might trim it down, cut some of the branches down just to be on the safe side.” Robinson also said that if the other tree in the garden was to fall, it would cause more damage. • Photos and reporting by Eden Leavey
