There will be another volunteer session at the community orchard on Saturday 7 September, starting at 10.30am. This time we shall be working alongside Nature's Gym who are holding a session in Iona orchard. We will check trees for broken branches, look for pests and diseases, resolve any rubbing from stakes and guards, and cut comfrey. There may even still be some fruit to harvest, although it is disappearing fast!
Join us in the orchard which is at the south end of Ladywell Fields, near the Bournville Road entrance. Under 16s only with close supervision. Boots and old clothes are recommended as the grass is currently long. I have asked for it to be mown before our session, but this may or may not happen. Bring your own gloves, and secateurs if you have them, but some will also be available to borrow.
Please email ladywellfields@yahoo.co.uk if interested, so we can gauge numbers and let you know if we have to postpone due to wet weather.
