Help Wimbledon Abundance save unwanted fruit and have another fabulous fruit day.
All about Abundance Wimbledon
In 2017, Abundance picked a record 2,916 kilos of fruit in Wimbledon, Morden, Raynes Park and surrounding areas. This was only possible with the kind help of lots of people - donating their surplus fruit, giving their time to pick fruit, process and distribute fruit or helping to publicise the project. We are very grateful to everyone who helped.
Much of the gathered fruit was shared amongst the garden owners, the fruit pickers and others who turned it into jams, chutneys, put fruit in freezers, baked with it and pressed fruit to make fresh juice. Some of the produce was sold at our Fruit Day event to raise money for Abundance Wimbledon - all of which goes to charity.
Fruit Day is Saturday September 15th 11am - 2.30pm at St Marks Church garden behind Wimbledon library. This will be our 8th year of operation.
This year the harvest is not good due to the terrible weather we have had. We are looking for any excess produce which can be turned in to preserves of any kind. If you know anyone with allotments or gardens with a glut of any thin please let me know and I will be happy to arrange for it to be collected and made in to delicious produce for Fruit Day.
If you can help or are interested in joining Abundance please let me know. I am on 07847 887311
