Help Restore Hebburn Park with Hebburn Roots

Donation protected
Help Bring Hebburn Park’s Pollinator Path to Life!

Hello! I'm Iain, founder of Hebburn Roots — a local, volunteer-led project transforming Hebburn Park into a vibrant, nature-rich space for the whole community to enjoy.

With the help of passionate volunteers, we’ve already:

  • Cleared overgrown paths
  • Restored the historic mosaic feature
  • Removed litter and invasive weeds

Our next big goal is to complete the outer ring of our spiral path garden — planting it with year-round colour and scent from:

  • Lavender, Thyme, Phlox, and Delosperma
  • Compact Hebe shrubs, Skimmia, and Nandina
  • Drought-tolerant grasses and evergreens for winter interest

All plants are non-toxic, low-maintenance, and chosen to support pollinators like bees and butterflies.

A Quick Note
We initially hoped to fund this planting phase solely through support from local businesses — but we’ve underestimated just how costly it is to fully stock an 80-metre pollinator pathway with hundreds of perennial plants.

While we’re still actively reaching out to more local businesses and community groups for support, we’re now turning to the wider public to help us bridge the gap and make this project bloom.

‍ Your Donations Will Help Us:
  • Buy plants, compost, and mulch
  • Provide tools and gloves for volunteers
  • Cover watering and maintenance costs this summer

Already Supported By:
Thanks to generous in-kind support from:

  • Friends of Hebburn Cemetery
  • Leslies Bowls Club
  • Elmfield Bowls Club
  • Diamond Joinery

What’s Next?
We recently met with South Tyneside Council to discuss:

  • A community information board
  • New picnic benches
  • Cleaning and repainting the seating areas

We’re building more than a garden — we’re helping bring new life to the whole park.
