Thursday 23rd January Tree planting at Rottingdean Cricket club 10.30am - 4pm
Rottingdean Cricket Club offers a brilliant location for planting a community orchard to provide people with access to fresh fruitand habitat havens for wildlife. Join local residents and other volunteers to get involved with planting and caring for 14 fruit trees across the area.
This project is being delivered in partnership with Brighton & Hove county council.
Task for the session is to plant trees: digging holes, putting in posts, providing supports & protection. The session will be led by experts who can explain the permaculture approach to tree planting and ensure trees are planted in a way that they are most likely to thrive.
The work is very physical and includes digging holes with spades and using post drivers.
