Dawson’s Hill Orchard – Scything the wildflower meadow

Tuesday 16th April - 10:30am until 2:30pm

Dawson's Hill Orchard -


Dawson’s Hill Orchard sits right below Dawson’s Heights estate in Dulwich, south east London. The orchard consists of several veteran pear and plum trees thought to be around 100 years old. There are also a number of young fruit trees planted in recent years.

This week we’ll be:

  • Scything the wildflower meadow to reduce the early growth of invasives – cow parsley, nettle, cleavers and bindweed
  • Ringing the ivy off the mature pear trees
  • Mulching the young trees
  • Repairing the dead hedge

Come along to meet your neighbours and do something positive for the local environment.

Free to attend, no experience necessary, all tools and training provided – click here to sign up

Meet on Dunstan’s Road at the bottom of the footpath up to Dawson’s Heights (Click here for map)

Start 10:30am finish around 2:30pm

Please wear warm clothes and sturdy footwear, and tea and biscuits provided, bring along a packed lunch.
