A Lasting Gift to Haigh Hall:
The Peace Tree
The chosen Davidia involucrata is renowned for its striking white bracts, which flutter like delicate handkerchiefs in the breeze — a fitting emblem of peace, remembrance, and community spirit. Its placement within the amphitheatre ensures it will be enjoyed by generations of visitors, standing as a living testament to Rotary’s enduring commitment to service above self.
Representatives from the Rotary Club, Haigh Hall, and the artistic team gathered for a small ceremony to mark the planting, reflecting on a century of charitable work across Wigan. As the tree grows, it will serve not only as a symbol of gratitude for the past, but also as an invitation to look forward with hope, unity, and shared purpose.
The Object of
