Six of us ran and walked to help Southlands Community garden plant 5 fruit trees. James and Antonia got going on the first hole and made quick progress. Tay and Laura had less luck with digging the second which seemed to be full of large rocks, very solid clay and finally a water or sewage pipe which luckily we didn't dig through. Leanne and Mitch quickly completed the third and fourth holes and the final one was dug by one of Southlands volunteers. Once the holes were dug they were filled with compost and the trees planted. We look forward to seeing them in fruit in future years
