Grow to love it! Borough gets its own orchard

JEANE Smith was one of an excited group of King’s Cross residents who welcomed the borough’s very first orchard on Friday.
The pear, apple and cherry trees were paid for by Age Concern and planted in the Camden Council garden outside its Great Croft Resource Centre, off Cromer Street. It will be tended by residents of the block and centre users.
Green-fingered Ms Smith,
83, said London can be something of a concrete world and believes that for older people it can be worse.
“But if you want to, there’s so much you can do – you don’t have to just sit on a chair,” said the retired tailor.
