PEAR PICKING THIS SATURDAY 28th SEPT 2013 IN LEWISHAM SE13
SATURDAY 28th SEPT @11.15
We will be visiting a local garden to pick pears from a huge tree.
Picking poles are recommended, as are ladders if you have them/transport.
We will be meeting at the Car Park on Slaithwaite Rd SE13
I have been advised that the grass in the garden we are visiting is rather long and boots or suitable foorwear are advised.
Some of us will be going on to a GROWWILD WORKSHOP. WE
will meet at the People's Library New Cross SE14 at 1pm. The session is expected to run until 5pm.
Come and join us to pick pears,come and join us afterwards at the workshop, come to either, come to both, but we really hope to see you there!
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BAGS!
UPDATE....
Pear picking in Lewisham went well and we got around 90% of the tree, which wasnt as big as anticipated.
The tree owner & pickers were all pleased to see the fruit go to good homes.
The Workshop was a fabulous afternoon. We Picked grapes near to the Somerville adventure playgroup and also picked red apples in Brockley.
Back in the kitchen, the goup was guided by Penny to make Musto Cotto as well as John Downey Jelly.
Southeast London based free food harvesting fruit picking group. Our objective is to reduce the amount of food that grows freely in our local environment being wasted. We find and harvest fruit trees and bushes in public spaces and peoples gardens (with permission) and then transform the excess of each glut into jams chutney pickles fruit leathers jellies relish pies crumbles cake, almost anything edible. We can provide recipes, suggestions and workshops to teach you how to use your fruit.
