BLOSSOM VIEWING DAY 2018

On Saturday 5 May we enjoyed a Blossom Viewing at the  Orchard. The flowers were truly at their best and we were delighted to welcome so many visitors.....some who'd never been there before. We are delighted this year that some trees (Newton Wonder) almost under the canopy of the Copper Beech, have got plenty of blossom which we've not had before.  Fingers crossed there's no frost and we get a good set. The next job will be thinning the fruit which will be at the end of June, after the "June drop" 

You're not too late to make a visit .....blossoms should be around for another week to 10 days. Sit awhile and enjoy!

Limpsfield School

This picture shows the children at Limpsfield School who won prizes  this year, in the Annual Poetry Competition, sponsored by the Community Orchard. Each year the children who visit the Orchard regularly are asked to write about apples and pears and how they feel about seeing them grow!

The winning poems are laminated and hung on the trees for everyone to see.
