On Wednesday 17 April, it was a pleasure to welcome David Walker from Bsa Boarding for a tree planting ceremony in the Moss Garden as part of the BSA’s Boarding Orchard initiative.
The Boarding Orchard was launched by the BSA in 2014 and is probably the world’s largest orchard by distance. In 2020, the Boarding Orchard was officially supported by King Charles III who called it ‘an excellent way to promote environmental awareness’.
The scheme involves boarding schools joining the orchard by planting fruit trees in their grounds. The trees symbolise the ‘tree of knowledge’ and demonstrate each school’s commitment to growth and caring for the environment. Since launch, schools across the UK – including Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland – have joined The Boarding Orchard, and trees have also been planted at boarding schools internationally.
If you are passing, please do stop by and have a look.
