Friends of Mayow Park, in partnership with the London Orchard Project will be planting a new community orchard in Sydenham on Saturday 28th January between 12 and 3pm and they are looking for volunteers on the day to dig and plant ten fruit trees and a fruiting hedgerow.

Volunteers are also key to the longer term success of the project and by becoming an orchard carer, training will be provided for you to look after the trees in their first two years of growth.

Finally, any individual or a groups can sponsor a tree by making a contribution of around £50. Sponsors can opt to have their names listed on the park’s notice board, by agreement with the Council and also appear on the Friends blog.

If you would like any more information on the event how to become a sponsor, please email friendsofmayowpark@ymail.com
