DENEHURST PARK This summer’s amazing transformations Over the past two years Denehurst Park has been transformed from an unused park into a place for local residents and visitors alike to enjoy; new infrastructure and a whole host of landscaping works have truly turned the park around. Since last summer, new features such as the already popular stumpery have been added. Located opposite Denehurst House, it’s an impressive feature displaying the intricate nature of tree roots and logs. Not often seen in parks, the Victorian style feature is must see for all park visitors as they walk around the formal areas of the old Turner Family Estate. The Denehurst stumpery is quite similar to a rockery but made from parts of a dead tree instead; this can take the form of whole stumps, logs, driftwood, pieces of bark or even worked timber such as railway sleepers. The tree stumps have been arranged upside-down and on their sides to show off their impressive root structure. Rochdale Borough Council collected the stumps and logs over a number of months and carefully arranged them to form the new feature; rocks can also be seen scattered around the stumpery to further complement its natural look. A gravel path runs through the stumpery to allow people to walk around the feature safely and view the stumps and plants on show. Bark chips have been added to keep weeds at bay and to ensure the beds hold and retain their moisture in hot weather, keeping the plants looking green all summer long. Just before Christmas, students from Redwood Secondary Special School were invited to plant a variety of woodland plants around the first stage of stumpery. The children planted ferns, foxgloves, hostas, hellebore, primrose, epimedium and native English bluebells, which are ideal in the stumperies shaded environment. Mosses and lichens will also be encouraged to grow around the stumps and rocks to create a truly unique look. The second stage of the stumpery was planted by our weekly volunteer group adding even more colour to the park; lungwort, Solomon’s seal, Japanese anemone, Astilbe and hart’s tongue fern are to name just a few of the unique flora that have recently been planted. The stumpery provides a perfect habitat for several different types of wildlife and has been known to host small mammals, toads, stag beetles and numerous insects, very much like bug hotels. Weekly volunteer sessions are held each Wednesday from 10am-12pm during the spring and summer months. If you’re interested in helping out in the park, please get in touch.
