Our wonderful Community Orchard has now been up and running since Dec 2009 ...... very nearly 10 years. In that time we have created a wonderfully productive place where (most years) we harvest apples pears and damsons, celebrate the passing of the seasons with blossom viewing, harvests and Wassails and gathering together to prune,mulch and weed.
Your committee has worked hard in that time.....preparing the site, choosing, planting and maintaining 36 trees and 250 hedging plants, setting us up as a Community Interest Company, managing the finances, sustaining local interest and keeping records of our most generous Friends.
The Orchard is however a COMMUNITY project and now we feel we need a greater input from others in the local area.
One very pressing need is to have some technical support....managing the digital records, communication and publicity. We all feel we need some young blood ....someone with up to date computer skills!
Please do contact us for further information.....Helen 01883 713160, Lorna 01883 712312 Peter 01883 713716
