Two rivals. One fake romance. The headline writes itself… Emma Jane Unsworth is a BAFTA-nominated, BIFA-winning screenwriter and bestselling novelist.

I reduce the amount of sugar in my jam, to optimise the flavour of the fruit and like to experiment with complementary, seasonal additions, in order to create unique flavour combinations. All my fruit is produced without the use of pesticides/herbicides, hand picked from plot to pot within a few hours. I love knowing that, for each jar of jam I produce, I can point out exactly where the fruit comes from and what goes into it. As all the fruit is grown on my allotment, there is a limit to the number of preserves I can produce in one season, so you might have to wait a year for the next batch to become available. I also make a range of seasonal cordials. About the Community Orchard This workshop will be run from the Community Orchard's beautiful outdoor kitchen.

It features a mix of mature fruit trees and fruit bushes, many of them heritage varieties, and includes a pond and a stream.

Green Meadows are back to show you more examples of environmentally friendly home improvements and innovative retrofit approaches across Nottingham. In this latest instalment, we visit one of the Meadows' "eco houses", which has been constructed in two phases, completed in 2015. When & Where: We'll meet at the Meadows Library ( 11am, Saturday 21 June) and walk the short distance to the house. The tour will last approximately 1.5 hours The eco house was designed to meet the "A" rating Energy Performance Certificate criteria at the time, and during the tour we'll provide an outline of the specification that was chosen to meet that requirement. The main focus will be a tour of the home and a presentation by the homeowner. The homeowner will delve into the journey of planning and installing a heat pump , along with their firsthand experience of living with this innovative technology. This is the first heat pump installed in a house within the development and it is a significant step forward. The tour will include a view of the heat pump (located in the garden of the house) and also the hot water system and tank which are energised by the heat pump. If you want to read an article on the house before the visit, here’s a link. Wondering if this is right for you?
