Ladywell Fields Orchard Volunteer Workday – Saturday 4 June, 11am

Our next orchard work day will be on Satruday 4th June at 11am. Meet in the communtiy orchard near the south entrance and the children's playground.
In celebration of London Tree Week, the Urban Orchard Project are giving us small potted comfrey plants to accompany the fruit trees. We need to plant them in the ground around the edge of the mulch circle. Comfrey bring valuable minerals up from deep below, which makes the leaves a good addition for future mulching, keeping the trees healthy. For more information see

This is also a chance to do some weeding and inspect for pests and diseases.
Everyone welcome. Bring thick gloves if you have them as there are thistles to pull out.
