**Abundance is looking for help with fruit picking!**

Hello All
This lovely weather will be bringing on the fruit - and we hope you are able to join us for some fruit picking/jam making/etc. this summer. Fruit picking trips will probably start in a few weeks. Meanwhile if anyone has a surplus of currants or rhubarb, please do get in touch, as I'm sure someone will want them. We are changing how we do things. Instead of fruit picking being organised centrally and people travelling around, we are setting up more local fruit picking groups, with each taking on responsibility for picking a few trees. Four groups have now been set up - but they each need a few more people to help. So please get in touch if you can help with fruit-picking (even just once or twice), in the following areas: - Haydon's Rd - with Ben - Morden - with Liz - Raynes Park - with Gilli and Samantha - Wimbledon Park - with Carole and Jane - Wimbledon town/village - with Juliet We would also like to set up fruit picking groups in: - Merton Park - Dundonald - South Park Gardens - Colliers Wood So please do get in touch if you would like to get involved in one of those. Or let us know if you would like to form another group - it could just be to pick a couple of trees in your street! We'd advertise for more people to join you. It's a great way to do some fruit picking with your neighbours and get to know new people in your area. Just let us know. Many thanks Abundance abundancewimbledon@gmail.com |
