Tree Musketeers

We're wrapping up the Winter planting season. Thank you to all the volunteers who took part! The song is the still unreleased ‘watermelon skies’ by BIN RICH, fellow tree musketeers. Made from the samples of our very own Hackney parakeets & morning marsh afterglows.

Our Fruit Tree Grafting workshop is this Friday, sign up to reserve your place or we have another workshop next Sunday, but it's almost sold out. bit.ly/treemusketeers… 🍏🍎 #Grafting #fruittrees #communitygardens #communitytreenurseries #londonbiodiversity #londontrees

Our tree nursery is open this Saturday and every last Saturday of the month. Come join us to prune, pot, mulch and all things tree care related. No experience necessary. Spend a few hours being outside surrounded by trees, bees, bugs, butterflies and all. youtu.be/OnVIfalOJcs

Some photos from yesterday's @TM_Hackney #tree maintenance efforts. More events coming up, will advertise via our FB page. All events open to all and #volunteers are always welcomed 🌳

We love #plantingtrees and we love looking after our trees. On Sunday 22nd Feb we'll be in Millfields park mulching away to ensure our trees prosper. Come join us and spend a couple of hours in the fresh air with good company bit.ly/treemusketeers… #mulch #treecare #community

We had a great time on Sunday, we felt as blessed as the trees to have so many people join us in our wassail. 🍎 Big thanks to the amazing performances by Morris folk choir & Feorin band. Join us next year for our #Wassail, or next up is our Open day on the 10th May.

Thank you to everyone who came down to the nursery this year! 🎉🎉Christmas eve will be our last volunteering day of 2025 🌱 Seasonal wishes to all!

Have you seen our new Documentary by the Good Side? The @hackneycitizen have published an article about it! They came along to our Tree planting on Hackney Downs and it was great to show them what the Tree Musketeers do hackneycitizen.co.uk/2025/12/09/fil… Thank you to @ParkHackney

We'll be holding a Wassail in our Orchard on the 4th January. All are welcome. The wonderful Annie Moreton will be guiding us through the traditions, with songs and music by the Morris folk Choir and the Feorin band. #wassail #communityorchards #trees @MorrisFolkChoir

We had a great Partnership Launch with Hillier’s last week and we can't wait to share Tree knowledge with them. We had the perfect weather to plant some of HIllier's trial climate resistant trees on the marshes, the wonderful artist Stik came along to help plant.

Over 40 litres of apple juice pressed last month at our apple day and we're so pleased so many lovely people came. We pretty much sold out of cake and it would be impossible to guess how many apples we pressed. Photos courtesy of @peteburkehimself
