Ladywell Fields Orchard Volunteer Session - Monday 27th August - 10.30 am -12.00 noon

The plum trees in the orchard would benefit from a late summer prune, which will stimulate the trees to produce fruit next year. We have therefore planned another work day for Monday 27th August. Please come along to help and maybe learn something new about tree maintenance. Rendezvous at the orchard in the south end of Ladywell Fields, near the Bournville Road entrance. Even if it is warm, covered shoes are a good idea as there are thistles around the trees. Under 16s only with close supervision. Please bring your own (sharp) secateurs if you have them, but some tools will also be available to borrow.
 

Please email ladywellfields@yahoo.co.uk if interested, so we can gauge numbers. Hope to see you there.
