2G3S Apple Day, Wandlebury, 1 – 4 pm Saturday 5 October 2019

We held a successful Apple Day with Cambridge Past, Present and Future (CPPF) and Orchards East at Wandlebury on Saturday 5 October. Activities included:

• Guided walks around the Wandlebury Orchard
• Fruit and nut identification

• Talk on the care of fruit trees
• Apple juicing
• Talk on cooking with apples – samples and recipes
• Talk on cider making
• Archery for adults (and soft archery for children)

• The Cambridgeshire Beekeepers’ Association [CBKA] with information about all pollinators and a glass observation beehive
• Activities for children, including crafts and games, and story reading by well-known children’s author ISABEL THOMAS
• information about local environmental and horticultural groups

The weather was kind to us on the day; unfortunately the season hadn’t been a good one for apples and the juicers got off to a rather slow start!  But all in all a very enjoyable afternoon.
