THE TEAM at Freely Fruity have brightened up Langley Mead car park in Shinfield by planting 13 fruit trees.
It was their first planting job of the year and saw them install a selection of trees, including apple, cherry, pear and quince.
Their work will allow people using the area for recreation, and local residents, to access free fruit for many years to come.
The charity says its aim is to plant more fruit for people to enjoy in local communities for free, and to reduce the borough’s carbon footprint in the process.
Set up in 2020 by friends Ryan, James and Matt, the Freely Fruity’s vision is to provide food to people and wildlife through planting fruit trees and bushes in local communities.
Its trees also directly reduce carbon emissions and can help to lower the carbon footprint of shop-bought fruit.
Following a very successful 2024, the charity received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.
