About this session
The summer has been exceptionally dry, and young fruit trees need a drink! Join us to water the trees at Elthorne Triangle, a part of Norwood Green Orchard Trail (HANGOT). We will help the fruit trees through the drought and give them the best chance of thriving. 💦🌳
HANGOT is a great organisation that plants fruit trees in public green spaces along the Grand Union Canal to encourage biodiversity and foraging for food.

HANGOT plant publicly accessible community orchards to encourage foraging and biodiversity
Hanwell and Norwood Green Orchard Trail is a local community project to plant and care for a trail of publicly accessible community orchards in the Grand Union Canal corridor in Hanwell and surroundings. Publicly accessible community orchards benefit humans, flora and fauna alike, and fruit is free to pick and enjoy. We planted over 150 fruit trees, hazels and rowans since January 2015 in over 12 locations between the Brentford and Southall borders, building nature and wildlife habitat improvements as well as a strong community of local volunteers with a shared sense of responsibility. We also planted hundreds of fruiting hedge plants. We work in close cooperation with Ealing Council park rangers, the Canal & River Trust, local schools and other community groups.
