Join us for the final Orchard Project session (and celebration)

Join the Friends of Wray Crescent and the Orchard Project on March 22 for the last of event of the series. Hot food will be provided during the day to celebrate the end of the project, and the event should be fun for gardeners, tree-lovers, and nature-minded kids.

What’s happening?

Last year, the group teamed up with Islington parks and the Orchard Project to improve the orchard area in our park.

We’ve held a series of fascinating learning workshops since then, which culminate in the final tree care event on Saturday March 22, when we will be labelling the trees, putting up signs, and placing guards around the remaining trees

The session begins at 11am, March 22, everyone is welcome, and hot food will be provided.

The event takes place in Wray Crescent Park, N4. More details.

What we learned so far

During the sessions we have learned a huge amount about how to better care for fruit trees. For example, in September we learned how mulching the tree pits helps trees thrive over winter and stay hydrated (and be even more fruitful!) once summer’s heat returns.

We have made a collection of useful guides into what we have learned so far available in PDF format, which you can download here.

• Pruning Young Trees (Download link).
• Seasonal Care Programme (Download link).

We hope to see you at 11am on March 22.
