THERE will be chance to celebrate the humble apple as part of National Apple Day, looking at the past and future of the fruit.
The event on October 26 at the Bromley Environmental Education Centre in Farnborough’s High Elms Country Park aims to promote traditional orchards and apple varieties.
The activities, organised by the Bromley countryside and parks service and starting at 11.30am, will give visitors a chance to taste apples and juices from local orchards and take part in the longest peel competition.
National Apple Day was started by environmental charity Common Ground in 1990.
A spokesman said: “Using the apple as a symbol of the physical and genetic diversity that we must not let slip away, Apple Day offers everyone a part to reverse the negative aspects of globalisation, climate change and to reinvent a good relationship with nature.”
