Wednesday 29th January 2025 at Walmer Road Recreation ground, Seaford, 10am - 4pm.
The Walmer Road Recreation Ground offers a brilliant location for planting a community orchard with 16 trees to provide habitat havens for wildlife and access to fresh fruit for local residents. Join other volunteers and support Friends of Walmer Road Rec Committee to get involved with planting and caring for fruit trees across the area.
This project is being delivered in partnership with Lewes District 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. A mechanised auger may be used by the leaders, and this can be noisy.
