The Neighbouring Orchard is a living artwork by Annie Lord of 160 apple trees planted across coastal Edinburgh and East Lothian commissioned by Art Walk Projects. Join Annie to celebrate the launch of a new series of Walking Maps designed by artist David Lemm that visit a number of the planted trees.
Walk 1: Portobello – Cultivating Connections
We’ll take a leisurely walk to visit some of the apple trees, with readings by Annie along the way. We’ll consider the impact of community growing in Portobello and its connection to a wider ecosystem; from the earthworms that mulch the soil, to the moths that take shelter in the trees’ leaves.
Everyone will take away a limited-edition handheld artwork.
Both walks are a 2-hour walk with plenty of pauses along the way. We’ll cover pavements, footpaths and some uneven ground.
