COMMUNAL FRUIT PRESS

Good news for fruit lovers – we got some funding to buy a communal fruit press!

The press’s name is ‘Clarke’ and it will be based at the beautiful Glengall Wharf Community Garden, just off Old Kent Road, in the east corner of Burgess Park.

Over the summer, we’ll be practising making juices, ciders and more, thanks to kind donations from Tesco Old Kent Road and New Covent Garden Fruit and Veg Market.

You can come and meet Clarke from 2-4pm this Sunday 26 July at the Glengall’s Plant and Bake Sale!

We hope that together we can grow this project over the years, but right now there are 3 key ways you can get involved:

1. Become a Fruit Donor – if you’re based in SE London and have a fruit tree with surplus fruit, let us know and we can add you to our map and timetable


2. Become a Picking Volunteer – join a group of volunteers that will go on nice neighbourhood walks, picking and collecting fruit when the time is right


3. Become a Processing Volunteer – join a group of people who want to experiment with making juices, brewing cider and all sorts of fruit-related cooking

If you’re interested in any of the above, contact fat.studio.cic@gmail.com and we’ll invite you to a meet-up.

Let’s get together and press fruit!!!

Thanks to London National Park City for the funding, Angie at Glengall Wharf Community Garden for the support
and Madison Bryan from Old Kent Road Tesco for the fruit donation!
