Everyone should have a fruit tree in their garden. The pleasure they give year-round is immense.
Great community turnout for our pruning and grafting workshop with @SaughtonFriends in #Edinburgh last weekend. We're excited to see everyone's Scottish apple trees budding in the months to come!

Did you know we have planted over 3,500 trees & 3km of hedging plants with @QGCanopy across 33 prisons, 1 Court & 7 Approved Premises.
This provides offenders with skills & a sense of purpose to help them reintegrate into society upon release.

👋After all this rain 🌧️, now is the perfect time to weed and mulch around street trees. 👍🌱The soil is moist so much easier to do now. 😃 It helps reduce competition for nutrients and water, and stop the transfer of pests and diseases. 🌳 🤒
