Sunday 21st August from 12:00 noon at the Pomarium
(on the former playing fields next to the Rock Park).
Absolutely everyone welcome - bring your lunch, something to sit on, games to play and your eagle eyes to spot the first of the ripe blackberries!
The picnic is on!
The forecast says that it'll be dry from 11 till 4, but bring something you can sit on as the grass is likely to be extremely damp. Some wellies might be a good idea too!

Get your crayons out and help us tell everyone what the trees are there for!
Not everyone knows what a community orchard is, and people who just happen to be walking through the site might wonder why all these trees and bushes have suddenly appeared! We decided to enlist the help of the children (and some of the adults!) of Llandrindod to make some signs, to let people know that the orchard is for everyone, and to encourage everyone to take care of it. Our first batch were fabulously coloured, drawn and decorated at the 2016 Llandrindod May Fair.
Now it's over to you...
You can download the colouring sheets here or you can design your own! Feel free to laminate them yourself and staple them to the posts in the orchard, or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.if you don't have access to a laminator and we can do it for you.
If you do laminate your sign, it helps if you cut off the grey border before laminating, so that you have a clear border to staple through. This keeps the rain out of your sign and means it will last longer!

Our Spring planting day was a fantastic success! Here's a lovely photo of lots of the volunteers who came along to help, along with our press release.

Community Orchard Planting Day
Monday 28th March 2016, 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Alexandra Playing Fields, near Rock Park
Over the past few weeks, local businesses and organisations have donated sponsorship for the first major planting day, which will take place on the afternoon of Easter Monday. Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored the orchard already! Thanks to your generosity, there will be apples and pears, plums and damsons, mulberry, quince, currants and other fruits, and this is only the beginning of the project!
The fruit produced in the orchard will be free for anyone to pick, and it is hoped that the entire community will share in the bounty in the years to come. There will be dedicated days exploring and working on the site in future, and everyone is welcome to get involved in caring for what will build up to become a wonderful resource.
Everyone is welcome to come along and help with the planting on Easter Monday, 1:00pm -5:00pm, and to chat about the project with the organisers. Please bring lots of enthusiasm (and a spade or fork if you have one handy and want to get your hands dirty). We'll also be making compost bins, and getting some ancient brambles under control, so secateurs and gardening gloves would be a bonus.

A few weeks ago we contacted local businesses and groups inviting sponsorship for new trees for the orchard. We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has already offered their support in terms of tree sponsorship and volunteering to help.
We'll be confirming the date of our big planting day VERY SOON!
In the meantime you can follow our Facebook page if you like to get updates that way, and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you'd like to get involved or you have any questions or suggestions.
