Feel good while you do good: join us for an apple harvest in a beautiful London orchard.
Being in nature boots wellbeing, reduces stress, and encourages mindfulness.
Combine this with the feel-good factor of helping your community and making new friends, and you’ve got a great day!
On this one-day workshop you will:
Connect with like-minded people in a stunning traditional orchard
Enjoy the benefits of being in nature, and working together to make a difference
Learn about orchards, and how you can take positive action in creating a better world.
Making an impact
The apples you help pick will be donated to The Felix Project and redistributed to charities and schools so they can provide healthy meals and help the most vulnerable in our society.
For the apples you help pick, we pay the orchards above market price so that they can care for their trees and continue to help nature flourish in our cities.
By being there, and enjoying the benefits of this orchard you help protect it from development!
It’s useful to know…
- Harvesting will involve walking on uneven ground, reaching into trees, and in some cases, climbing ladders or lifting crates. Please contact us if you are unsure if you can participate in the harvesting activities.
- The training will be outdoors, so wear suitable clothing. Be prepared for sun, wind, or rain.
- Please bring LOTS of water to drink, especially if it’s a hot day!
- We will provide a light lunch (but feel free to bring extra snacks or a dish to share)
- Unfortunately, due to the nature of this work, children under ten are not permitted
- This is a FREE event with an optional donation at checkout
How to get there:
