Forest Garden Planting at Forever Fields, Manchester

Saturday 10 May 12 - 4

St Margarets Playing Fields and Centre, Brantingham Road, Whalley Range, Manchester, M21 0UX


Come and learn all about forest gardens and fruit tree guilds with The Orchard Project. Book your free place HERE!

We will be planting a rich variety of herbs, flowers and soft fruit around orchard trees. Find out how this helps to support and improve the health of the whole ecosystem and all the beings in it (including us). Diversity is resilience!

You will spend the afternoon planting and moving soil, so be prepared to get stuck in and help us turn the orchard into a beautiful, abundant forest garden full of herbs and flowers.

We will provide light refreshments and all the plants and tools. The toilets may not be open for the whole session. The location where we will create the forest garden is a few minutes walk from the main entrance over flat, mostly even grass and a bit of tarmac.

If you have accessibility requirements please let me know: joe.ford@theorchardproject.org.uk

Please wear closed, sensible outdoor footwear and gardening clothes and bring with you any sun/rain protection you might need on the day. All ages welcome, under 16s must be supervised by their parents/guardians.

Meet at the entrance to Forever Fields Garden, St Margarets Playing Fields and Centre, Brantingham Road. What3words: long.pasta.winner
