It was the last of the current block of Econidra today in the Plum Grove.

Restful meditation, sunshine and a gentle breeze were overseen by a puzzled Robin, who wondered where the birds were during the Earth Journey.

These sessions were free thanks to funding from Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust Getting Help in Neighbourhoods grant.

Just one image of our Harvest Celebration session- Willow Birds, Baskets and Apples.

Happily crafting willow, picking and pressing apples and enjoying the juice. Sustainable materials, recycling, zero air miles on the apples from our orchards.

We have plans for more events, workshops and community days over the second year of the LEAF programme so keep a look out!

Join us on the last day of September for our free of charge Harvest themed workshop.

We'll make some small solid based baskets from willow, perfect for displaying fruit or eggs and enjoy a taste of the remaining apples with an opportunity to have a go at pressing some. If time allows we will create our own willow swallow, in honour of their namesakes heading south, a sign that summer is well and truly over.
