Description
NHS Forest invites you to the first of two webinars presented by The Orchard Project on how to plan and create an orchard at your NHS site. This first webinar will cover how to choose the best location for the orchard, select the fruit trees, design the layout of the orchard, and plant the trees. Although these webinars are aimed at applicants to the NHS Forests Orchard scheme, they are open to any healthcare professional who wants to learn more about looking after fruit trees.
The webinar will be delivered by The Orchard Project, the national charity dedicated to creating, maintaining and celebrating community orchards. It will be hosted by Chris Macefield and Fergus Walker who have worked with many community groups to plant and maintain community orchards, and who also teach on TOP’s accredited Level 3 course in community orchards. The webinar will begin with a presentation followed by plenty of time for questions.
If you have any specific questions that you would like us to address in the session (please check it will not be covered in session 2) then please email Hattie: Harriet.white@sustainablehealthcare.org.uk
