New Mills Community Orchard will be holding their 6th annual Apple Day celebration as part of the festival on Sunday 28th September, 2pm-4pm, at the High Lea orchard.
The Community Orchard supports the Growing Spaces project, and it is anticipated that this year’s event will include two things in particular that may interest you:
- a Produce Swap table: if you’ve a glut of fruit or veg crops at the moment, bring surplus produce along and swap them with other growers
- Growing advice from local gardeners: if you’ve a question about growing fruit or veg in New Mills, come along and ask the advisors
As well as these, of course its a great family afternoon out, and has the added attraction of the Powderkegs Morris group!
Hope to see you there!

I have potted up about a dozen baby strawbs for the table. Also a couple of fruit shrubs spare. Because I will be at Spring Bank most of the day i can deliver them either to a person or cart them onto the orchard the day *before* and hope for,the best. What do you suggest?
