Wednesday 4th June Bevendean Recreation Ground 10.30am - 3pm
We’ve helped plant a community orchard at Bevendean Recreation Ground with 30 fruit & nut trees and 10 disease resistant elms and we need to look after them while they get established. Community orchards are a vital part of the puzzle for future-proofing our cities. We’re going to need them to help provide shade in the summer to lower temperatures, draw up excess rainwater to prevent flooding and even provide us with local, zero miles healthy food. Not to mention providing a beautiful space to spend time in. Now we’ve got our work cut out for us to get them all watered and looked after. Come along and learn how to care for the trees.
Tasks for the sessions will be watering and litter picking (and anything else that pops up along the way).
If you can't make the full session feel free to turn up at any time. If you can't see Jan please give him a call.
