Transition Worcester is now very involved with the Worcester Community Co-op, and has been able to lease a piece of ground on the new Duck brook/Cherry Orchard land from the Co-op for a nominal rent. This is a great opportunity for Transition Worcester to grow a range of different fruit trees, such as apples, pears and plums. Some clearing work has started on the site which at the moment is a jungle! A comprehensive grafting programme is planned!

Ideally, we would like to get some root stocks of fruit trees in late autumn. Our aim is to enable “fruit in every Worcester garden” – this may be a very ambitious aim but it gives us something to work for!

Come and get involved – together with the Community Co-op, we are planning a working party on Sunday 4th November, followed by a bonfire in the evening. Please come along and help out! Likely to start around 14.00 in the afternoon. If you are interested please let us know on transitionworcester@gmail.com and we will let you know finalised details. Please bring a fork or spade if you can.
