A Tree Wardens Guide to Celebrating Community Orchards in Blossom Season

Tuesday 11 February 2025 – 1 – 2pm

Online session via Zoom – please book HERE.

We are perhaps more familiar with Apple Day, started in 1990 by Common Ground, the same year we launched the National Tree Warden Scheme, and perhaps some of you organise Wassailing events too, but did you know there is also Blossom Festival and Orchard Blossom Day! The Orchard Network have launched a new annual celebration called Orchard Blossom Day. Centred around the last week of April, sites across the country are hosting events with activities like tours, produce fairs, picnics and practical crafts.

Come and join me and our special guests Adam, Steve and Beth, from The UK Orchard Network, to find out more, and learn how you can connect with this wonderful springtime festival and access free online resources to help you organise and celebrate events in your own communities.
