Transition Chesterfield Need Your Plant Cuttings
Thu, 8 December 2011
Do you have healthy gooseberry or currant bushes or a healthy apple tree? Transition Chesterfield are looking for people living in the Chesterfield area who are willing to allow them to take cuttings from their gooseberries, black currants, red currants and white currants and, from mid-December, apple trees.
The group will plant the cuttings and look after them before finding places for them to be planted out in a year or two when they’re bigger. The group are currently working with the local council and other local organisations to find land to plant food in. They need the plants to help them get going.
Instructions on taking cuttings can be found here: www.gardenorganic.org.uk/todo_now/archive/nov/fruit_gard_now.php or email the group: and they’ll see if they can help: food@transitionchesterfield.org.uk.
