🌳 Join Us for Fruit Planting This Winter! 🍎
This winter, we’re preparing the land for rest and renewal — sharing warm food, learning together, and caring for the soil and each other.
Thanks to newly secured funding, we’re growing our Community Market Garden and deepening community connections to green spaces. Winter is the perfect time to plant apple trees, allowing roots to establish while the land rests, ready for strong growth in spring.
We’ll be planting a diverse range of fruit trees with guidance from an experienced orchard expert — learning how to plant, care for, and grow apple trees and other fruit varieties like cherry and plum while shaping the future of the site and making real environmental benefits.
We’ve already grown an abundance and delivered real impact. This winter, we’re planting the future.
🌳 Join us as we grow towards a truly abundant market garden. 🌱
