Friday 24th January at Tilling Green estate, Rye 10am - 4pm
Rye’s Tilling Green Estate and Community Centre offer brilliant locations for planting community orchards to provide fresh food for local people and habitat havens for wildlife. Join local residents and other volunteers to get involved with planting and caring for 21 fruit and nut trees across the estate.
This project is being delivered in partnership with Tilling Green Residents Association and Southern Housing Group.
Task for the session is to plant trees: digging holes, putting in posts, providing supports & protection, adding compost and mulch. 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 includes digging holes with spades and using post drivers. A mechanised auger may be used by the leaders, and this can be noisy.
