12 goodgymers came along to help with some planting at Holgate Community Orchard.

It was lovely to see how much the plot had been transformed over the last year. The new raised beds looked great and our job was to plant all the new plants which had just arrived.

The majority of us dug holes and planted whilst a couple of people provided the water supply.

After 30 mins we were done and the majority of us headed over to The Fox, lured by Barbara's very delicious vegan brownies, to celebrate her birthday.

One of the next jobs is to dig holes for tree planting in autumn .... sounds right up our street!
