Today we were back at Holgate community orchard to finish demolishing the shed and burning it!

It didn't look too big a job but took a bit of work to break up all the ivy and tree branches into burnable parts.

We welcomed Jodie to her first task and Sheila to her second. We hoped you enjoyed it and that you'll be back!

We finished ahead of time and plan to return on 16th April.

Holgate Allotment Community Orchard and Apiary
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?
