Blossom Day is nearly here, and to inspire people to celebrate this wonder of nature, James Crowden, poet, cider-maker, and cider historian, has written some beautiful poems for Orchard Blossom Day.
James recites these poems on YouTube with a background of wonderful orchard video footage. Enjoy!
We are excited to bring you news of the UK Orchard Blossom Day, around the last week in April, or whenever your blossom looks at its best!
This will be the third year of the celebration, but this year will be the first time it will have been actively promoted in Scotland.
We’re joining with the organisers (People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and the UK Orchard Network) to bring you news, ideas, and inspiration to get you involved, whether you have trees in your gardens, are a community orchard group, local food group, or commercial producer.
Get involved in the new annual celebration of fruit trees, flowers and food!
Celebrate orchards as magical places for people and nature, but also a source of healthy local food.
