The Orchard is coming on apace! We have just had our third work day and most of the seven foot brambles are now chopped down and we can begin to get a feel for the size of the land. Lots of rubbish discovered in the process- some where old allotment sheds and cold frames have collapsed and some people have chucked over the fence. Network Rail have agreed to provide a skip so our next work day will be filling it up – them comes the massive task of shredding all the green waste.
We were really lucky to get three newly qualified tree surgeons to help out, Sam Keel and Dan Croler (and another Sam) did a brilliant job and worked for a day and a half to get the trees down and chopped up. If anyone is in need of any tree surgery we cant recommend them enough !
Our next meeting is imminent, on 6th Jan 7.00pm at the Bakers Arms. All welcome !
