The rain held off this morning for our second bramble root digging session at Holgate Community Apiary and Orchard. We welcomed Beth to her first Goodgym York session. We started by digging up the bramble roots and then Michael and David got started on the tougher Ivy and tree stumps and roots. The hour flew by and Michael and Sherilyn stayed to finish digging out a particularly stubborn ivy root.

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?
