A productive morning at Mitcham Orchard preparing the orchard for the colder months:
Mulching: We spread mulch around the trees. Learning that this vital layer insulates roots, retains moisture, and suppresses weeds. Harvesting herbs: The air was filled with fragrance as we harvested the rosemary and oregano, carefully bunching the sprigs. These bundles are now ready for drying and sharing, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
It was a delightful and productive session, with everyone enjoying the fresh air and the satisfaction of getting outside and active.

As Merton's local environmental charity, we aim to inspire, mobilise and enable our community to take action on climate change and protect our environment for future generations. Sustainability and wellbeing go hand in hand, so our projects address both environmental and social goals, such as addressing the cost of living crisis and strengthening community connections. We believe that a happier, healthier, more connected community is one that will have the greatest impact.
