12 goodgymers came along to help with some planting at Holgate Community Orchard.
It was lovely to see how much the plot had been transformed over the last year. The new raised beds looked great and our job was to plant all the new plants which had just arrived.
The majority of us dug holes and planted whilst a couple of people provided the water supply.
After 30 mins we were done and the majority of us headed over to The Fox, lured by Barbara's very delicious vegan brownies, to celebrate her birthday.
One of the next jobs is to dig holes for tree planting in autumn .... sounds right up our street!

Transforming an overgrown and unused allotment plot into an orchard and public space for the local community to enjoy.
Holgate Allotment Association are a volunteer group of allotment holders who try to make Holgate Allotments a great place to socialise and grow veg. We have an allotment plot on the boundary of our site which is unused and completely overgrown but which we think will make a lovely orchard and wildlife area with seating for the local community to enjoy. Clearing the site will be a massive task, but it's one we want to embark on this Autumn. Can you help?
