Friends and supporters of Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden at South Walsham are being invited to back the next generation of the garden’s trees at two special planting days on Sunday, October 12 and Friday, October 24 2014, both starting at 11am.

John Debbage, one of the gardening team at Fairhaven, has established a nursery in the garden to propagate saplings. Oak, ash, alder and horse chestnuts have been grown from seed gathered in the garden, for planting in a copse at the end of the Ranworth Walk.

Louise Rout, Fairhaven Garden manager explained:  “We began working on the copse in February and this is our second set of planting days. We are asking our friends and supporters to donate £10 to the garden’s project fund in return for planting a tree. Numbers of trees are limited, so please get in touch and reserve one. We will maintain a record of all donations, so that donors can keep an eye on their tree as it matures.”

To reserve a tree and make a donation, please call in at visitor reception, or email  [email protected], t. 01603 270449, www.fairhavengarden.co.uk. Alternative tree planting days and times can be arranged.
