Here are some highlights:
The orchard
This is the first year that the trees have been old enough to leave some of the fruit on the trees, and after a good session of weeding round the trees it was apple picking time for the Junior Rangers !
Orchard Celebrations |
First we had the Junior Rangers out in the orchard, weeding round the trees, raking up grass
Then the picking commenced
The fun way to pick apples ! |
and the apple tasting!
Which variety tastes best!!? |
Plenty of apples to go round!
Apple Pie |
Reuben's crumble |
Apple Turnover |
Apple smoothie! Yum!! |
Our adult volunteers have also been hard at work replacing and reinforcing the tree guards.
This winter we'll be holding a pruning workshop in the orchard...details coming soon
