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.

See pictures of plants which have been donated to the park
