Harvest Festival 2016
The Queen’s Orchard in Greenwich Park
Sunday 2nd October
11:00am to 4:00pm
You are invited to come and see the fruits of our endeavours and discover The Queen’s Orchard - a hidden gem in Greenwich Park close to Maze Hill train station.
• There will be a representative from The Royal Parks Guild, who can answer any questions you have on food growing;
• You can enjoy some short talks about Bees together with some honey tasting and candle making, given by Camilla of Capital Bees;
• An arts and craft stand run by Ginger Cat, will have children's activities such as face painting, and activities relating to being in an Orchard, and will be coming along with The Royal Parks Bear.
• There will be a chance for the children to get involved in some pond dipping which will be run by our education providers, Field Studies Council. Visitors will be able to take part in the big dig of the potato crop.
• There will be a display demonstrating the range of seasonal vegetables you can grow at
different times in the year e.g.: peas, brassicas etc.
• The Orchard Garden, now in its fourth season and run by a number of volunteers, who will be giving out lavender bags to take home for a donation. Donations to The Queen’s Orchard will be gratefully received and help to fund essentials like seeds and equipment.
So come and join us for a great day out - it's all free!
