Come along to Apple Day and help harvest and taste the fruit on Scarcroft Orchard.
In 1990, dismayed by the loss of so many traditional orchards and amazed at the thousands of varieties of apples that have been grown in the British Isles, Common Ground set out to create a new celebration of our most versatile fruit and the beautiful orchards they come from. This is ‘Apple Day’.
Sue Clifford says; “Apple Day is not a marketing device, its creation has been impelled by altruism and idealism for living better with nature – the apple and the orchard are symbols of hope. They demonstrate how we can have our trees, bees, bats, butterflies, birds and badgers whilst growing good fruit to eat and drink.”
There are several Apple Day events around York.. Scarcroft Community Orchard has been marking the event every year sonce 2012, with a celebration of locally grown apples and of our lovely local orchard. There will be a tasting display of delicious varieties, juicing with Louise Cantlay from Abundance, games and apple cakes that people may bring to share.
This is a drop in session so no need to book!
