COME AND HELP OR COME AND SEE US.........

These photos show our apple and pear trees  with a lovely crop of bee friendly white clover in the grass. The apples are beginning to swell and now we have had the June drop we are going to start thinning them. We'll be in the Orchard from 5 pm on Thursday 22 June if anyone would like to come and see what we are doing.We'll be having a work party from 10 to 12 on Sunday 2 July too. This is to weed and tidy the Orchard prior to the Judging for Limpsfield in Bloom on Thursday 6 July. Do come along .....all are welcome.

MOVEABLE BARRIER

These pictures show the new moveable barrier that we have just installed in the Orchard (June 2017) at the entrance from the A25. It is intended to be used as a temporary measure when groups of children are using the Orchard and should always be lifted back to the sides after use. Hopefully it will give some peace of mind to parents and grandparents as it a pretty good
barrier when in place.


The pictures below show Peter Jarvis (left) and Graham Woodward doing the hard work. It was quite some task digging the holes for the supports as the area
must have been part of the original driveway, and had tarmac and many large stones to work through. We are most grateful to them both for this excellent
addition to the site.
