Could the apple be a symbol for what is being lost in many of our lives, such a local traditions, and rich and diverse landscapes? Could a local orchard be a fruitful place in which to begin to rethink the division between nature and culture?
Join us for a picnic to celebrate Apple Day — first launched in 1990 by Common Ground as a nationwide celebration and an attempt to establish a new tradition that fostered pride and interest in local distinctiveness. We will have delicious apple themed food, storytelling with Grace Banks, and some apple games. It is also a chance to hear and discuss our plans for the Community Orchard.1
Very family friendly / free to attend but please let us know if you are coming.
1. The existing orchard is made up of two separate groups of fruit trees planted by artist Norma Hunter, through her Bite on the Side project, and Networks of Wellbeing
