Feel good while you do good: join us for an apple harvest in a beautiful London orchard.
Being in nature boots wellbeing, reduces stress, and encourages mindfulness.
Combine this with the feel-good factor of helping your community and making new friends, and you’ve got a great day!
On this one-day workshop you will:
Connect with like-minded people in a stunning traditional orchard
Enjoy the benefits of being in nature, and working together to make a difference
Learn about orchards, and how you can take positive action in creating a better world.
Taste some delicious heritage varieties - ones you don't get to see in the supermarket.
Making an impact
The apples you help pick will be donated to The Felix Project and redistributed to charities and schools so they can provide healthy meals and help the most vulnerable in our society.
You help to reduce food waste and are a part of caring for these trees, supporting community and nature to flourish in our city.
By being there, and enjoying the benefits of this orchard you help protect it from development!
It’s useful to know…
- Harvesting will involve walking on uneven ground, reaching into trees, and lifting crates.
- Outdoors, so wear suitable clothing. Be prepared for sun, wind, or rain.
- Please bring LOTS of water to drink, especially if it’s a hot day!
- BYO lunch to enjoy together under the trees. Snacks and refreshments provided
- This is a FREE event with an optional donation at checkout
How to get there:
We will meet at the entrance of St. Joseph's flats on Lawrence Street shortly before the event starts and walk over to the orchard together.
Please let us know in advance if you are unable to make it, spaces are limited and we need all the apple-picking power we can get.
Contact elizabeth@theorchardproject.org.uk with any questions or concerns.
