RE:ACTIVE The Apples for All Project

Description

The Apples for All project aimed to engage nurseries from some of Glasgow's most deprived areas by supplying them with free Scottish heritage apples trees. As a result, 140 nurseries were invited to the University or Glasgow Botanic Gardens to collect their trees and take part in interactive activities around apples.
