By kind permission of the National Fruit Collection Trust who have funded this unique scientific trial, the Royal Society of Chemistry Kent Local Section have organised a visit to their Brogdale Farm climate change orchard where 20 apple varieties representing a wide range of genetic variation of this ubiquitous fruit are being grown in polytunnels under 3 different temperature and 3 different irrigation regimes mimicking potential UK climate change over the next few decades.
We will meet at 1pm in the Russet Room at Brogdale Farm for a buffet lunch & tea/coffee followed by an introductory talk then a walking tour of the orchard. Please come prepared for the vagaries of the British weather and be aware that you will encounter uneven surfaces in the orchards. This visit may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties – please consult the organiser below if you have limited mobility.
Both RSC Members and guests are welcome both at a price of £10.00 per person. To attend, please return the form below no later than 20th August 2018 electronically to Mark Botting at mark.botting@fastllp.com or by post with a cheque to Greg Burnard at Rose Cottage, Tower Hill, Offham, West Malling, ME19 5NH.
E-payment is preferred: Sort code: 60-04-23; Account no: 90722159 (please add ‘Brogdale’ to the reference and email Treasurer Greg Burnard at greg@forzaindustries.com and Mark as above to confirm you have made payment. You are advised to book early as previous Brogdale visits have proved popular and we are limited on numbers.
