Thanks to those of you who came to last Sunday's volunteer/open day in the community orchard in Ladywell Fields (south field). We were able to tend to the trees, check on their general health, have a go at some of the weeds encroaching near the trees and spot those trees in need of watering, as we've had so little rain now for several months.
It's clear the orchard will need more t.l.c. during the Summer so we've identified Sunday 2 August for another session.
In the meantime thank you to Glendale who responded very positively to our request at the LFUG meeting on Tuesday by today sending a bowser down to the south field to water some of the orchard trees and the new plantings along the bottom of the diagonal path leading from Bourneville Road to Ewhurst Road.
