We raised just under £600 with two sessions of picking organic heritage varieties of apples and a few pears. WE have also been promised a further donation by the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster who held a rally in the park so the Friends are able to support more work in the park and walled gardens.
Thanks to everyone who came along.
