Clove Apple Day

  • Manchester Urban Diggers CIC Platt Fields Market Garden Manchester, England, M14 6LT United Kingdom (map)

Make a Kurdish Clove Apple – a timeless gift of love.

Looking for a unique way to show your love this valentines day? Create a Kurdish clove apple - a beautiful tradition from Kurdistan, a region spanning parts of modern Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Passed down through tales, legends, folk literature, and music, clove apples symbolize devotion and preservation.

You pierce a fresh apple with fragrant cloves, close together and one by one, until it’s fully covered. It’s a relaxing and meditative activity that leaves you with a beautifully spiced handcrafted keepsake.

Thanks to the natural antiseptic properties of cloves, your clove apple can last for decades, serving as a lasting reminder of your love and creativity.

Drop in anytime to make one, or more. Just be aware it takes time to do so best to give yourself a couple of hours, although you can always finish your apple at home.
