Apple Day is an annual celebration, held on
October 21 each year, of apples and orchards. It is celebrated mainly in the
United Kingdom.
Apple Day was initiated by
Common Ground in 1990 and has been celebrated in each subsequent year by people
organizing hundreds of local events. Common Ground describe the day as a way of
celebrating and demonstrating that variety and richness matter to a locality
and that it is possible to effect change in your place. Common Ground has used
the apple as a symbol of the physical, cultural and genetic diversity we should
not let slip away..
Apple Day events can be
large or small, from apple games in a garden to large village fairs with
cookery demonstrations, games, apple identification, juice and cider, gardening
advice, and of course many hundreds of apple varieties.
The first Apple Day was on
October 21, 1990 in Covent Garden, London. Proverbs
