๐ŸŒณ A fascinating day exploring the future of Stanley Park's trees! ๐ŸŒณ

Last week, Blackpool's Tree and Landscape Officer and Tree Warden Network Coordinator, Charlotte, joined Blackpool Tree Warden, nomenclature expert and Plant Heritage member Bob Warburton for a visit to the wonderful Yarrow Gardens Tree Nursery in Lancashire.

We spent the day exploring an incredible collection of rare and unusual trees, discussing opportunities for Stanley Park and sharing ideas about how we can continue to grow and diversify Blackpool's treescape for future generations.

One of the most exciting parts of the visit was discussing National Collections. These collections play a vital role in conserving rare trees and plants, protecting valuable genetic diversity, and ensuring important species remain available for future generations to enjoy and study. They also help tell fascinating stories about our horticultural heritage and bring something truly unique to public parks.

We also talked about how we can futureproof Blackpool's landscape, selecting species that will thrive in our coastal climate and identifying trees that can establish well and grow quickly, helping us increase canopy cover across the town. More trees mean more shade, cleaner air, increased biodiversity and a greener, healthier environment for everyone.

It was inspiring to see so many remarkable specimens and to discuss how special tree collections can contribute to Stanley Park's future while creating a lasting legacy for generations to come.

๐Ÿ‘€ And there's more exciting news on the horizon...

We're currently exploring the possibility of bringing a brand new collection to Stanley Park. Discussions are progressing well, and we hope to be able to share more details very soon!

A huge thank you to Kieran Gardens for his warm welcome and for sharing so much knowledge and enthusiasm with us.

โ“ If you could choose one special tree to see planted in Stanley Park for future generations, what would it be and why? Let us know in the comments below!

๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŒณ Happy 100th Birthday, Stanley Park!

When landscape architect Thomas Mawson and his team designed Stanley Park, they created a vision for a park that would bring together gardens, recreation, sport and open space for the people of Blackpool.

A century later, much of that original vision remains - from the Italian Garden at the heart of the park to the lake, sporting spaces and distinctive landscape.

Mawsonโ€™s original plans are still remarkably recognisable in the multi-award winning park we enjoy today.

But perhaps the greatest part of that vision is the people. For 100 years, Stanley Park has been a place to make memories - whether that be enjoying the gardens, taking part in activities, playing sport, meeting friends or simply spending time with family.

Hereโ€™s to 100 years of memories, and many more to come ๐Ÿ’š

Happy centenary, Stanley Park!
