Blog: The Abundant Perennial

A recent collaborative session between FNV and the Friends of Trittiford Park saw many volunteers come together to clear the encroaching, non-native cherry laurel that has taken over a section of hedging in the park. The forest garden being established here will see a great number of biodiverse, edible perennial plants and trees go into the site, which will be more suitable to serve the community and the park’s wildlife in the long-term.

Fruit & Nut Village started as a tiny acorn. We would like to say we are now a mighty oak, reaching further into the corners of Birmingham through our edible perennial food growing community initiatives. We have been lucky enough to be a part of this delightful and insightful booklet created by the National Trust, designed to inspire like-minded groups and spur them into meaningful community action.
