Every year as autumn sets in I feel the need to find out where our local Apple Day celebrations will be. Celebrated on and around 21st October each year this is a celebration of the great British apple, orchards and their contribution to local areas. It was started by Common Ground over twenty years age.
This year there doesn’t seem to be an up to date events lists from Common Ground or Hertfordshire Orchard Initiative. So I’ve searched online and found some – mostly thanks to the Tree Council.
