Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
Volunteers at St Joseph's orchard in Mill Hill have done their first big pick of apples this year, but there are thousands more apples ripening on the trees, ready for picking.
Managed in conjunction with The Orchard Project, the trees here are between 50-150 years old.
Make your own way to the meeting point - run, walk or cycle. We'll meet at the entrance gates of St. Joseph's flats on Holborn Close off Lawrence Street - here is the w3w link.
There's security at the gates, so please sign up here so they know you're coming. Goodgym is free to join (but you may get some welcome emails...)
Wear stout shoes and hats (to protect your eyes and head).
You don't have to stay for the whole event (up to 4hrs), but if you can spare an hour or two it will be a great boost to their picking powers!
This task supports
The only national charity dedicated to creating, maintaining and celebrating community orchards, working so everyone in towns and cities across the UK can be within walking distance of a thriving, community-run orchard.
