Community orchard on the Fallowfield Loop

February 17, 2013 by Julian

Today SACV were out, together with the Friends of the Fallowfield Loop, doing preparation work for a new community orchard on the Loop.  Today the planting holes were dug and prepared with compost, and we’ll be back at the site to help with the planting of the orchard in four weeks’ time, on Sunday 17th March.  In addition to the orchard work, preparation for a new boundary hedge on the corner of Sherwood Street and Wellington Road was carried out.  As the pictures show, it was a perfect sunny spring day to be out volunteering!
