Our volunteers have been busy at our working parties keeping the Orchard in good condition and what better way to be rewarded than to see the pear blossom out! There is still a couple of weeks before the apple blossom arrives. We won't be having a special event for blossom viewing this year but would encourage you to take a few visits over the coming weeks to see the Orchard transform into something quite magical.
Bring along your picnic blankets and baskets to our summer picnic on the 23rd June. It'll be a great opportunity to enjoy time in the Orchard with other Orchard Friends and members of the local community. Here's hoping for a dry and sunny day!
Unfortunately one of our bird boxes was vandalised, which will now need to be taken down but we've bought three new bird boxes and an owl box from the good folk at The Woodhouse Centre in Oxted. We're pleased to support such a great enterprise that offers so much to our community and would encourage you to check them out.
New Gate Sign Post
Our lovely new gate (pictured above) situated by Westerham Road has improved accessibility to the Orchard making it easier to use. All that's left is to adorn it with a new gate sign post, which will be coming soon.
Get Involved
As you may know, our Orchard relies on your generous donations, be that time, money or both. We're grateful to each and every one of you that helps make this Orchard exist for the benefit of our community. We're always on the lookout for volunteers and as the weather starts to improve, you might consider volunteering with us at our working parties that are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 9.30am. It's great opportunity to get outdoors, socialise and learn more about the Orchard.
We're also on the lookout for a volunteer(s) to help organise our next Wassail. It's a great event for the Orchard and well attended by the community. If you would like to volunteer in any way, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us via email or our Facebook Page.
Best wishes from the Limpsfield Community Orchard Team
