Apple Orchard Planting

Pupils from Currie Community High School and Woodlands School have come together to plant 8 new fruit trees in a shared orchard. Pupils from the Eco Committee at Currie High supported young people in the Woodlands Eco Committee, who have complex, long term additional support needs, to plant the apple and plum trees.  

The orchard area now contains 13 fruit trees of 11 different varieties. The apples and plums will be used in cooking lessons for both schools, and will also be available for community use. Thanks to the Central Scotland Green Network Orchard Grant Scheme who provided the funds to buy the trees.
