The Stonegrove Community Trust are delighted to invite locals in Stonegrove, Edgware and the surrounding areas to be a part of an exciting project to plant the area’s first community orchard.

Locals are invited to an upcoming planting day happening on Wednesday 17th January 2024 from 10.30am until 2.30pm.

The orchard will be made possible by a partnership with The Orchard Project and aims to empower locals to bring about a positive change to their urban neighbourhood.

Anyone who would like to attend the upcoming event or find out more to get involved in the project, should contact Poppy Fishman by email at: [email protected].
