Help Heaton Park Community Orchard

by stevewright on 17 January, 2017

Heaton Park already has an Orchard, but it is in a very poor state. At the moment it’s overgrown, there’s too many weeds and a only few apple trees. So our friends at EAT Pennines are going to revitalise it and use it for our community, underprivileged kids and to offer training courses. They will clear the weeds, grown new trees and have even promised to grow Blackthorn, whose berries are used for sloe gin. To achieve this, they’ve started a Crowdfunding page and aim to raise £12,580.

They already have over 12% of their target but need much more. If you can help with a donation it will be really appreciated. In addition to being able to see “the fruits” of you donation, you’ll also get a reward. For example, an £80 donation gets you a luxury EAT Pennines hamper and 20% off in The Stables and Pavilion cafes for one year. To find out more, you can read about their appeal here.
