Oaken Grove Park - New Community Orchard!!

On Saturday 25th May 2024 a small group of volunteers from The Friends of Oaken Grove Park and Wild Maidenhead planted 10 apple trees that had been donated by Thatchers Cider. They were planted in two rows of 5 towards the south of the park in the wild area. The trees are of five varieties (Scrumptious, Katy, Red Windsor, Queen Cox and Bramley) a mixture of eaters and cookers and all good for making cider! They will make a lovely addition to the park and as they mature they'll provide good habitat for lots of wildlife and some lovely apples for the local community!
