Two Goodgymers - Nick and I - spent a lovely morning helping tidy up this great comunity orchard in preparation for a family event next week. We cleared away some prickly brambles and annoying nettles, making space around the seating areas. We also helped out with planting beans in the adjoining community allotment, harvesting some late potatoes along the way. It was bloomin' marvellous!

Planted in 2013 in honour of local Councillor Margaret Wright, Abbey volunteers have been looking after the orchard for over a decade.
The orchard is a greenspace for community members to learn practical gardening skills. The fruit is shared with volunteers and the Abbey Food Hub for local people to access. (w3w: return.awards.risk)

Also I sorted the bins out. There were over 100 cans. It is in my diary when to take them out. With wheeling them back that is 4 trips there and back. Great exercise!

Maintaining the orchard in good condition ensures it's a great space for the local community to enjoy - many of whom don't have their own gardens.
