Hanami Cherry Blossom Picnic at Rikkyo School, in West Sussex

26/3/2022

On 26th March friends invited us to a Hanami Cherry Blossom picnic at Rikkyo School, Rudgwick. Hanami translates into flower watching, referring specifically to observing the cherry trees in full bloom. This Japanese tradition involves strolling through a park or having a picnic under the blossom trees. At the popular hanami spots in Japan, some people save the spot in the middle of the night for the next day’s party!

Thank-you Chiaki and Simon for inviting us, Rikkyo School for providing a lovely hanami under your cherry blossoms and the professional guitarist, Hide Takemoto, for your beautiful classical guitar renditions…

In February we conducted engagement events at six different sites, attended by over 120 people.

On 23rd February we planted an orchard for Liphook Parish Council, that included a local heritage apple, the Bramshott Rectory, which arose only 200m from this new orchard space, planted by the grand-daughter of the Rector.

We planted another orchard for Haslemere Town Council in a corner of Lion Green, on 25th February. Many thanks to everyone who helped to plant these new orchard spaces.

Then on 1st March we attended Surrey Biodiversity Conference, with a display to show delegates how orchard-spaces can enhance biodiversity.
