Dedicate a tree in memory of a loved one and help save the environment.
A memory or condolence dedication gift is a lovely way to retain memories of a loved one and makes a wonderful keepsake for the family to treasure, and for future generations.
Our dedication trees all have registration passports, and are planted with care with park tree guards made by hand to create a thoughtful sympathy gift.
For alternative ways to capture memories take a look at our list of specimen trees and contact us for further details.
Cragend Farm have a new project for the coming year: to plant Ten Trees of Ten Varieties to celebrate Ten years at Cragend.
The trees with the guards cost £180 and take a couple of hours to plant, pick a sunny day and come and spend a few hours making Coquetdale even more beautiful.
Almost all of the trees to be planted will be able to be seen from the B6344 as it passes Cragend or come back to see the tree’s progress as it grows.
Please get in touch if you would like to come and plant a parkland tree and put up a guard to protect it during its initial growth.
Choose from one of the following species:
Juglans nigra (Black Walnut)
Juglans Regia (Walnut)
Betula pendula (Silver Birch)
Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut)
Aesculus hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut)
Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’ (Copper Beech)
Quercus Rubra (Red Oak)
Quercus Rubur (English Oak)
Larix Leptolepis (Japanese Larch)
Salix Alba Caerulea (Cricket Bat Willow)
£180 Tree (see list) and tree guard planted on Cragend Farm.
