Harvest has offered free raspberry canes to groups that can plant them in public spaces in Brighton & Hove, where residents and passersby can see them. Over 200 autumn-fruiting canes were distributed to more than 20 visible public spaces such as parks, community centres, sheltered housing schemes and housing estates at the end of January 2012. Read more about the scheme and how to plant and care for raspberries (pdf, 196Kb).
