Hollingdean Park Community Orchard Fridays 2-5pm, 0-5 year olds

Summer is well on its way and the community orchard behind the Children’s Centre in Hollingbury Park is in full leaf.  The Apple Pickers is a new DIY forest school where parents and their preschool kiddos hang out on a Friday afternoon 3-5pm to explore  and care for the green space. Would you like to join in?

Visitors Caroline Lucas MP and Sian Berry dropped by to say hello

This Friday we had some additional friends come to play when Caroline Lucas and Sian Berry stopped by to see what was going on.  The little ones showed them our new pond, made this spring with the support of Froglife. The orchard is also home to some Bee Hotels, habitats for solitary bees which have been installed by University of Sussex as part of a research study.  

The group is free and open to anyone that wants to stop by with their little ones, very friendly and informal and ideal if your kiddos need space to roam around! Pop along one Friday or email growinghollingdean@gmail.com for more info or any questions.
