19 February – Sunday: Forest gardening and tree care
Join us for our Orchard planting day where we will be diversifying our apple orchard with more trees, alongside learning how to be like a tree, with a ‘meet a tree’ nature connection exercise. We will also be pruning and prepping for sowing next month.
Join us for our free wellness days in our Medicine Wheel Garden and Community Orchard. We will be restoring our heritage apple orchard and traditional medicine garden as we explore the world of wild medicine and plants throughout the four seasons together.
Our Wellness Days are open to anyone interested in learning about plants and natural remedies, tree and orchard care, how we can deepen our relationship with the natural world and its benefits on our health and wellbeing. Our series of free events will allow you to connect and learn about seasonal herbalism, nature connection and mindfulness in nature, orchard care and food forestry, and each day has been created as a perfect day out to enjoy our sensing relationship with the natural world on our beautiful rewilding 50 acre estate. Lunch and light refreshments are included, bookings are essential.
Places are limited so please only book if you are sure you can come.
