🌳 YOU'RE ALL INVITED! 🌳
To celebrate the Oamaru Public Gardens 150th birthday, Waitaki Mayor Mel Tavendale will plant a tree on Saturday at midday to replace one that was lost last year.
Recreation Specialist Lindsay Hyde said the team wanted to plant something a little different — a tree that would eventually provide plenty of shade for people to picnic under at the tennis courts end of the children's playground.
They chose a weeping ash (Fraxinus excelsior ‘Pendula’) from local nursery Statement Trees, a strong-growing deciduous tree that can reach around 15 metres tall and forms an umbrella-shaped crown with branches that arch towards the ground.
Everyone is invited to join Mel and the team on Saturday to celebrate new life being planted as we mark 150 years of our magnificent gardens.
