A wild morning in the garden for volunteers and an especially tough start for the The Orchard Project and Wester Hailes High School students who had their first session this morning on an Orchard Care course. Ricky & Taff cleaned up around the garden, while Max got stuck into tidying the polytunnel and weeding around the crops. Gold stars to everyone who turned out in those conditions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It was brutal.

We welcomed 76 young runners to run number 26 yesterday. 😁
- 8 doing their first ever Parkrun. 🫶🫶🫶🫶
- 3 running our course for the first time 👊

A huge well done to everyone who ran, jogged, or walked, especially the 22 runners who achieved new Personal Bests 👏💪
🎖️ Milestone celebration today too:
🔵 - Isla Thomson received her Half Marathon wristband today – congratulations! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

As always, this event simply wouldn’t happen without our incredible team of 25 lovely volunteers who kept everything safe, smooth, and fun. Thank you all so much 💙

We are always looking for new volunteers. If you’d like to help out at a future event, please message or email us at [email protected] — we’d absolutely love to hear from you.
