York Manor residents bond over new apple tree planting

Recently, residents of York Manor had a delightful outing to Thirsk Garden Centre that sparked joy and a hint of excitement for the future. Inspired by the beauty of nature and gardening, the team decided to bring a bit of the outdoors closer to home by purchasing an apple tree.

Alan, a resident with a wealth of gardening experience, enthusiastically guided the team in selecting the perfect variety, the Cox’s Pippin, known for its delicious, juicy apples. His passion for gardening was infectious, and everyone enjoyed learning more about the best practices for nurturing the new addition to their garden.

After their productive shopping spree, the group indulged in a lovely afternoon break, enjoying tempting slices of cake alongside steaming cups of coffee. Laughter filled the air, making the day even more enjoyable. Their spirits high, they returned to York Manor to begin the task of planting their new tree, planting not just a tree, but a promise of sweet treats to come.

With hopes of fresh apples for home-baked apple crumble in the not-too-distant future, the simple act of cultivating their garden has given residents something to look forward to. This new apple tree represents more than just fruit; it embodies the essence of community and shared experiences, all taking root in the heart of York Manor.
