A group of nine people of various ages stand smiling around a sign that reads “Welcome to Pollok Community Orchard,” with an illustrated orchard map. They are outdoors in a grassy field under a cloudy sky, with young trees behind them. One person holds a small child, and a dog is partly visible in the foreground.

Several adults and a toddler gather on a grassy area in bright sunshine, with colorful watering cans laid out in front of them. Two adults help the toddler interact with the cans, while another adult stands nearby. A few cars and buildings are visible in the background.

Happy #VolunteerWeek! 🌟

Huge thanks to our amazing Pollok Community Orchard volunteers - from planting & mulching to baking & watering in possibly Scotland’s sunniest May 💪🌞
