Urban Harvest Calendar for 2012

Regular activity on 3rd Sat of the month, with a couple of extra dates.
We’ll also be picking apples for people who can’t pick their own or have too many – join us, or why not leaflet your neighbourhood and do the same?

Activities always subject to change if we have a better idea / a better offer / a wonky season (ie plants don’t grow to our timetable).

Your suggestions welcome - always looking for good sites & cheap venues (indoors for cold weather)
Hopefully Ed will add the odd fungus walk to the schedule

If you're new to Urban Harvest, please read the 'About Us' blurb on our website explaining who we are and what we aren't. You can also sign up to our mailing list for final details of events: www.UrbanHarvest.org.uk
