A fruit tree in every garden

This year ACAN and ALFI are joining PeCAN’s highly successful “A fruit tree in every garden” project.

So do take advantage of this opportunity to buy up to 5 fruit trees per household for £15 each – half the usual retail price. And this includes a stake and planting advice.

Trees available include apple, pear, plum, cherry and ornamental cherry.

There are 400 trees available to buy, on a first come first served basis, so why not order today to avoid disappointment. You can order on the PeCAN website which also has further details.

You will be able to pick up your tree(s) on Saturday 17th December, here in Alton.

Fruit trees are beautiful in spring, fantastic for wildlife and pollinators, sequester carbon dioxide and will even give you fruit to eat. 

And… a fruit tree makes a wonderful Christmas present!

Last week the group honoured Bob Weighton’s memory with a plaque fixed to one of the planters at their newest plot – in front of the BT building by Station Road in Alton. It was a pleasure to welcome the Mayor, Councillor Ginny Boxall, to unveil the plaque, and also Caroline Weighton and her two children Elin and Esben, Bob’s great grandchildren, who represented the family.

We have started to harvest fruit at the Vicarage. Any produce will be left in the basket on the wall. Please help yourself.

Don’t forget to come along this Saturday to the event in the Public Gardens.
