Monday 10th February at Green Ridge Windmill, Brighton 10.30am - 4pm
The Green Ridge Windmill and Hilltop sites offer a brilliant location for community orchards. Together with local residents and other volunteers, we will be planting 14 fruit and nut trees (7 at each site) to provide habitat havens for wildlife and fresh fruit for local people. Join us and get involved with planting and caring for 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.
