Community Planting Weekend

We are planting 27 fruit trees to make a gorgeous edible avenue down through the park. The fruit trees also form the first stage in creating a forest garden, a new part of the Loughborough Farm project.

We will be showing how to get fruit trees off to the best possible start: planting fruit trees in a range of sizes, and mulching and watering them. Improve your carpentry skills and learn traditional methods of building natural tree guards from sustainably-coppiced sweet chestnut. 14 of the trees will be espalier trained, ideal for urban sites and small gardens, and we will be showing how to set these out and erect growing structures.

 Join us at Wyck Gardens, Millbrook Road entrance, London SW9 7JD. We’ll be there from 9.30am to 4.30pm on both days. Come for as short or as long as you like.
