About Lauriston Farm Tour of the Trees

If you’re curious to learn more about Lauriston Agroecology Farm in north Edinburgh - and especially about why the co-operative who run it have planted so many trees - come along to the farm Tour of the Trees on Saturday 1st February.

Farming with trees (‘agroforestry’) was once commonplace, and nearly got swept away by large scale industrial agriculture. This tour will share how we are reviving it here at Lauriston Farm, with all the hope and excitement this brings.

The farm tour will take in the:
- Community Orchard
- Woodland restoration area
- Agroforestry alleys (lines of trees that create sheltered and stable space to grow other crops, as well as bringing crops of fruits and nuts themselves)

You’ll hear from the folk who look after the trees on the farm - sharing what we’ve done, why we’ve done it, and what we've learned so far
+ then all return to the Community Kitchen for soup and chat.

Come along to find out about the wonders of farming with trees and how we're reviving the farm to benefit the community.

Who is this For?
The farm team will welcome all curious visitors, including total newcomers, as well as farmers and growers and anyone interested in a career or volunteering in this type of work. This tour is aimed at adults or interested young people (the free community event in the afternoon at the farm is more suited to children).

Accessibility:
This is a walking tour on farm land, lasting around 1.5hrs, potentially also suitable for all-terrain/off-road wheelchairs or mobility scooters, but not standard wheelchairs. The ground is rough, and will be wet and muddy in parts.

About the Ticket Price:
The standard rate will help us cover our costs. We also offer solidarity options on the ticket price, meaning you can contribute more if you're able to, and take a discount if you need to.
