Harvest's City Fruit Harvest a stunning first year success

Submitted by Paul on Tue, 29/11/2011 - 14:42

City Fruit Harvest has now completed its first season and been really successful, not to mention great fun. We have picked nearly 700kg of plums, apples and pears, all of which would otherwise have gone to waste. Most of this was delivered to a range of local organisations. For more information on City Fruit Harvest's first year follow the link.
