Our Project Manager Kate led a winter pruning session in partnership with @SFarm_GardenCym a few weeks agoβœ‚οΈ This was the final in a series of free Orchard Leader trainings we delivered to groups based in Powys, Wales. We've enjoyed helping these budding orchardists bloom!

It was wonderful to mark three successful years of running our CICO (Certificate in Community Orcharding) course in North Lanarkshire with a celebratory meal last weekend. Apparently it was tea or coffee in the cups, despite the jaunty angle of project manager Chris' photo πŸ˜€

Have you spotted any apples still on a tree near you? 🍏 They're few and far between now, but a modern day Johnny Appleseed is on a mission to have us all eating many more long keeping apples in the future. Find out more on our latest blog: https://t.co/HfJfdI46oy

We loved reading the @Cider_Review interview with Gareth and Nicky John from @tynyberllan nursery 🍎 Based in Pembrokeshire, they specialise mainly in Welsh varieties and are passionate about craft cider. Read the full interview here:

We're pleased to let you know that our corporate partner, @daylesfordfarm, is kindly donating a percentage of the profits from their Christmas hampers towards our work. Good reason enough to take a look at the treats they have on offer 🍏! https://t.co/8ioVLx1fQZ

Healthy fruit starts with healthy soil 🌱 Here's a simple + effective way to naturally boost #SoilHealth in your orchard to mark #WorldSoilDay πŸ‘‡ Method: add a layer of plain cardboard around your tree, leaving a small gap round the trunk. Top with woodchip mulch.

Swansea project manager Witchhazel worked with students at @GowerCollegeSwa to create this dead hedge - an inaccurate description for something usually teeming with life! It’s a perfect hideaway for birds, small mammals & insects, who love the crevices and slowly rotting wood 🐞
