Greener Kirkcaldy

Join us in our community orchard at Ravenscraig Walled Garden for our annual Apple Day celebration. Every year the humble apple is celebrated up and down the country with events dedicated to showing the rich variety of apples that we grow in the UK, local varieties and their importance to our heritage.
We’ll have a fun packed afternoon of apple activities for all of the family. As usual, we’ll be pressing apples to make apple juice – it would be great if people could bring their own apples along to share and make juice with! We'll also be making apple themed things in our pizza oven like apple pie and baked apples.  
We'll be giving tours of our orchard (all of our fruit trees are Scottish and some varieties are very local) and Appletreeman, Andrew Lear, will also be offering advice and information on growing apples, including apple identification, troubleshooting and planning.  
We'll be running 3 apple-themed competitions for people to show off their skills, including Apple Cake, Apple Preserves and Apple Animals. Details can be found below.
This is an open event – no need to book, just come along! You don’t need to bring apples with you if you don’t have them, we’ll have plenty!
For more information contact us on 01592 858458, e-mail info@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk or drop into our High Street Hub at 254a High Street, Kirkcaldy, Wednesday to Saturday 10am – 4pm.
