The Community Farm goes Fruity!

As part of our Learning Field at the farm we will be planting a Forest Garden to showcase this wonderful technique of growing edible perennials. We held a weekend Introductory course on Forest Gardening with Bryony Huntley from Westfield Farm, during which she gave us a tour around her wonderful 4 year old Forest Garden and we developed ideas for our own here at The Community Farm.

In preparation for this we are holding some fabulously fruity workshops over the coming months:

Sat 16^th November, 10am-3pm   Soft Fruit Pruning and Propagation workshop
Sat 22^nd February, 10am-1pm   Grafting workshop
During both of these workshops you get to take home a whole load of wonderful plants that you’ve propagated and grafted on the day so if you’re keen to make your garden or allotment a little fruitier this is a great opportunity!

For more information on these workshops and all of our other adult learning courses and children’s activity days please visit our Learning Programme: http://www.thecommunityfarm.co.uk/learning_programme
 

Donate a Fruit Tree for Christmas
To help us in developing our Forest Garden we are inviting people to consider donating a fruit or nut tree to our Forest Garden as a novel Christmas gift idea. You would be able to chose which tree you’d like, would be invited to come and plant the tree as well as harvest the fruit once it’s ready (and of course you would be more than welcome to come and tend to it throughout the year if you wish). By doing this we are hoping to create a real community owned Forest Garden.
