Hi - I chair Scottish Orchards (I also do  www.scottishfruittrees.com (http://www.scottishfruittrees.com)) and we are keen to develop fruit growing and best practice across Scotland


We gave evidence at the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday - 13th Dec arguing for school and community orchards.

See the  BBC online video at

Also at www.scottishorchards.com (http://www.scottishorchards.com)

Scottish Orchards is particularly keen that we try and push the case for school orchards www.fruitfulschools (http://www.fruitfulschools),com so young people across Scotland can get experience of growing, harvesting and enjoying their own harvest

This shows the role that Scottish Orchards should have - to give a voice to fruit growing and community orchards across Scotland
