We thought everyone should know about this FREE EVENT organised by Greener Leith coming up next Saturday 9th March at 11am.

Ben Dell from the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh is a master in the art of fruit tree pruning and with your help he will get the ONE HUNDRED fruit trees in the Children’s Orchard on Leith Links ready for what we hope will be a bumper crop.  This event will not only be helpful for those with overgrown fruit trees in their garden who need to get up to speed with fruit tree pruning, it will galvanise those of you are planning to buy a brand new tree and give you confidence to make those essential formative cuts.

 There will also be some light litter picking with soup ‘n sandwiches at 12.30.

What’s not to like???
