The fruit trees in the orchard would benefit from a late summer prune, which
will stimulate the trees to produce fruit next year. We have therefore planned
another work day for Saturday 24th August. Please come along to help and maybe
learn something new about tree maintenance. Rendezvous at the orchard in the
south end of Ladywell Fields, near the Bournville Road entrance. Even if it is
warm, covered shoes are a good idea as there are thistles around the trees.
Under 16s only with close supervision. Please bring your own (sharp) secateurs
if you have them, but some tools will also be available to
borrow.
Please email ladywellfields@yahoo.co.uk if
interested, so we can gauge numbers. Hope to see you there.
This website and blog provides information about Ladywell Fields, a large park and former watermeadows that runs along the banks of the River Ravensbourne between Ladywell and Catford in South East London

If you'd like to give something back to ensure a rich harvest this and future years, and perhaps learn a lot about tree maintenance, why not come along to a Ladywell Fields Orchard Volunteer Session? The next one will be held on Saturday 24th August,10.30 am -12.30 pm.
