Thank you to our Volunteer Group, for your hard work in the community orchard today. The grass was cut and raked into heaps – easy to remove later. As the trees reach maturity we are getting more fruit – apples and pears from traditional Essex varieties.
Despite the dry summer many of the trees had their first good crop and I expect some of you may have picked one or two to sustain you on your walks. I’m told they also make a very good apple sauce!
We would like to add special thanks to Geoff for helping with the tools and mowing and to Darren from RDC
