Sis runners set out from Mud Dock (two of them named David) and ran the three miles to the Woodcroft Community Orchard, where we met another Dave. We quickly dug in to three tasks over the next hour: laying down new wood chips and mulch on the paths, "feeding" the trees a delicious seaweed mixture and clearing weeds out of a bed.

To show his thanks, the orchard dog distributed some wet doggy kisses.
