New orchard at the Rosary School

I'm delighted to hear that Camden Council recently helped the Rosary School to install an orchard. Volunteers helped plant the orchard and make space for food growing areas in the adjacent nunnery. Pupils helped to plant plum and cherry trees, apple espaliers (apple trees growing up walls), rhubarb, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries and gooseberries. Food growing tools have also been provided so that the students can maintain the space and council officers are working with the school to integrate their interaction with the orchard into the curriculum. Fantastic - let's have more of this!
