Great to be working with @FruitWorksCoop who encourage the planting, pruning & propagation of fruit trees for the benefit of communities in Bradford & Leeds. Our students started the programme by making fresh apple juice using a press! @TreesforCities @MyLivingWell1 #CarltonEdge

🍎 We are looking forward to getting along to this years #Shipley Fields Apple Day.
🌳 Run by volunteers and @FruitWorksCoop, the @ShipleyTC funded day is this Saturday from 12- 3.
🌎 It's on the same day as the Shipley Eco Fair but there is plenty of time to get to both!

We've got a jam-packed few weeks ahead with plenty of Apple Days, check our website for one near you.
