Orchard work | July 2017

A wet start this morning after welcome heavy rain overnight.  It was still raining hard at 10am this morning but volunteers met in the Orchard ready to trim the grass back round the young trees ready for the Open Spaces Team to mow the grass between the rows.

It was very pleasing to see how well these little trees are doing.  Fruit on nearly all of them.  We then moved on to the lake to clear litter – messages via the website have alerted the committee and although two black bags of litter were collected over the weekend, there was still more to be done.

Thanks to David who brought water and cleaning materials and took the time to clean the park signs that had become very green and mossy, and thanks to all of you for turning up this morning in the rain and working so hard.
