Bamford & Norden August 2021

You will even find plants that would have
made up part of Dippy’s diet, such as
conifers - a type of pine tree, which has been
around over 150m years.
The garden will feature once again in
this year’s In Bloom judging, with all four
townships gearing up for hopefully another
award-winning year. Judging will take place
throughout July and August.
Take a walk on the wild side
and pay a visit to the Denehurst
dino garden - don’t worry,
he won’t bite…
With ducks out of danger, the dino garden
stomped its way over to Denehurst park,
now residing under trees behind Denehurst
house and providing the perfect setting for
the specially designed T-rex, created by the
young people from Rochdale Training.
Visitors to the garden will see specially
selected plants, including ferns, which have
been around for 350m years - predating
dinosaurs. Plus, the distinctive, spiky Monkey
Puzzle trees, which date back more than
200m years.
