Freedom Day for Fruit Trees
2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Marston Community Garden in Oxford.
- Sunday, 1st of August 2021
- Led by Anwen Greenaway
Jo and I dodged the showers at Marston Community Garden's 'orchard triangle' this morning, clearing overgrown grass from around the fruit bushes.
We dug and pulled out long grass to de-choke apple trees, a couple of raspberry canes, and in an unusual turn of events (for us) weeded around a bramble to give it more space to grow. All in pursuit of autumn blackberries. The raspberry canes have produced their first ever fruit - exciting!
We had a happy, muddy, not too soggy couple of hours.
