The Friends of Oakworth (Holden) Park
Donated plants

 

Friends group members Joyce and Pat regularly work in the entrance area and around the caves to create flower beds and adding donated plants

As a group we are always appreciative of any plant donations for the park, particularly large specimens that may have outgrown your garden.
Please email us from the link at the bottom of the page if you have any plants you would like to donate to your local park. This extends the useful life of a plant that has outgrown its space, and enhances the enjoyment of our park for anyone who may visit.

Korean Fir planted in December 2006
Here are some pictures of a Korean Fir (Abies koreana) which was donated by Rita Robertshaw from Bradford via Freecycle.

The Korean Fir is on the 2006 International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, so we are helping to preserve this species for future generations.
