    On 3rd October 2015 Dundee Urban Orchard will welcome the Orchard

    Collective Scotland to Dundee. The Orchard Gathering will focus on the

    theme of Orchard Cities and the role that the creative arts can play

    in generating and sustaining energy for a growing orchard movement.

    Examples of creative orchard projects from across the UK will be

    highlighted. The day will include lively presentations, creative

    workshops and plenty of time to discuss next steps for the Orchard

    Collective Scotland.

    The Gathering includes tea/coffee and lunch. For those able to stay

    on, there will be an orchard themed evening meal and live

    entertainment from 18.00 – 21.30.

    Dates for the Orchard Gathering have been chosen to complement Tay

    Landscape Partnership’s Fruit Festival events and encourage synergy

    across urban and rural environments. TLP events include an apple

    harvest at Elcho Castle Orchard on the 4th October, a picking and

    juicing skills sharing workshop in Errol on the 7th October, and a

    Fruit Festival in Bell Wood Park, Perth on the 10th October.
