Huge thank you to Mikey Farrer for a mention in Bristol 24/7. He's absolutely right, you can get involved and discover our lovely growing space & an abundance of fruit, berries, other crops and wildlife, on any of our workdays. They're held on the first Sunday and usually the third Sunday of the month.

Mikey is a director at One B Coffee House, who have recently opened their second cafe

Orchard member Caroline recently gave a talk on fruit farming to (very enthusiastic!) pupils at Badock's Wood Primary School in Bristol. Follow the link to see her lovely slide presentation with a series of collages showing nature, events and activities at MRCO over the years.
