Rob, Jane and Jassy delivered our first batch of seeds tonight to the Edible Forest - as part of the 100,000 trees for Kingston scheme.

They are now being stored in the dry shed in the forest till we're next back for the planting session on 18th October.

So runners have plenty more time to keep gathering more tree seeds till then (remember small and medium species only... avoid oaks, chestnuts, plain trees etc)

Before leaving, we shook the remaining apples of a tree and Rob with a long-arm contraption with cup on the end managed to get the last quinces from the heady heights of the quince tree for his Quince Crumble coming up soon!

A vounteer run sustainable community orchard

Develop and maintain a mixed orchard: 200 trees of heritage apple varities, pear, plums, quince, medlar, mulberry, nuts, pond, polytunnel ... We propagate apple trees and have panted 20 in local junior schools and have a tree nursery to grow trees up for local parks and wild life areas. We are in discussion with the council about planting trees in streets.
