Friends of Parr Fold Park

A group of volunteers aiming to improve this beautiful Victorian park in Walkden. We garden in the park weekly and organise community events

[Friends of Parr Fold Park @ParrFoldFriends]

The Large Circular Bed was planted in 2016.

It takes a lot of effort from our volunteers to maintain it due to the size and weeding which is never ending.😅

At this time of year the bed is looking beautiful 😊

Our amazing volunteers work extremely hard during the weekly gardening sessions but they always have time for a good laugh and joke as you can see from the photo! 😅

Our Open Gardening Session went very well.🥳

So lovely to have several new people come, learn about what we do and do some gardening with us around the Rain Garden. 🥰

Fantastic job everyone! 🙂

This time of year is the best time to see the Handkerchief Tree (Davidia involucrata) in bloom. 😊

Our volunteers enjoyed sitting under it enjoying a drink from the Pavilion cafe after the gardening session.🥰
