Westmorland Damson Association for your young damson trees

Dear Blogger

In case anyone is in the Lake District on 6th or 13th April I have attached the flyer for the

Westmorland Damson Association DAMSON DAY on 13th April

For your information, attached is an electronic copy of the flyer which gives you information about the day. Please support our damson-themed competition! If you have a jar of damson jam or chutney lurking in your store cupboard or even some damson gin, please consider making an entry. Alternatively a photograph, a poem, some artwork or even a Spring hat! Please see the flyer for more information - for the Art category there is some additional information - 'Nature in the Valley'    Any medium or size, framed, mounted or neither.  Name on the back

Finally, if you would like to join us in the Lyth Valley for a walk to view the damson blossom please email me on info@lythdamson.org.uk The walks will be on Saturday 6th April and Saturday 20th April, starting at 10.30 from South Low Farm in the Lyth Valley.

Unfortunately we do not have any young damson trees available but you  can get them from the WDA with full instructions on how to look after the trees.

Please plant more damsons - see attached postcard from the past.
