Harvest Festival 2026 | Growing Fruit in the City: An Urban Fruit Tree Panel

Whether you have a garden, a single pot, or are part of a community orchard, this talk is about giving you the confidence to plant and care for fruit trees in the city.

Join us at the Garden Museum for a chaired panel bringing together ecologists, orchard specialists and community growers to explore urban fruit trees from every angle: the wildlife they support, how to keep them healthy, the culture and stories they carry, and how communities are planting them across London.

Our panel:

Russell Miller, ecologist, on orchard ecology and biodiversity
Ewa Krupa, specialist in holistic orchard management and heritage collections
Kath Rosen, CEO of The Orchard Project, on community orchards and growing
Divya Hariramani Herrero, Fruity Walks, on fruit tree culture, the people behind the trees, and the interesting species found across London

Each speaker will share their perspective, followed by a conversation between them and an open Q&A. Expect a lively, practical evening that leaves you inspired to grow.

This talk is part of the Harvest Festival 2026 programme. In order to purchase this talk you must also purchase a general entry ticket for the Harvest Festival 2026.
