Forest Hill's Edible High Road launch yesterday went incredibly well. Over a hundred free runner bean and tomato plants were handed as well as large numbers of vegetable seeds packets and free fruit. Huge surprise from people that things were being given away free!

Our tv gardening celeb, Matthew Wilson, cut the tape and posed for photographs (many thanks to Matthew and family for donating their Saturday afternoon to Forest Hill) and Shannon's Garden Centre has received unprecedented enquiries about fruit trees. The music was great! Many thanks to Kate's sax quartet and Holy Trinity Primary School's brass band.

Our urban orchard could not have been created without many people volunteering many hours over the past few weeks - so thanks to all those whose efforts paid off yesterday and will continue to be seen over the next three weeks as Forest Hill's urban orchard continues to bloom.
