We pick over a ton of apples, pears and plums from local back gardens and give most to Foodbanks and community groups.
Why do we do it?
* to reduce waste
* to raise awareness that food doesn’t have to come from a supermarket
* to get to know our community, the place and the people.
What else do we do?
Over 100 harvesters and tree owners contribute each year. We make juice to sell at Queen’s Park Day (when that can happen), have a dehydrator for members to borrow, run jam making workshops, Parlour restaurant kindly makes jam for us, we’ve harvested with children’s nurseries, lend a fruit picking tool through the library on Salusbury Road and have planted 40 fruit trees on a local estate and elsewhere.
