This morning we were helping Roots4Life tend to the young fruit trees in their orchard.

Working alongside other volunteers we 1) removed the support straps that had become too tight around the tree trunks, 2) laid cardboard from packing boxes around the bases of the trees to kill weeds that were competing with the tree roots for nutrients, and 3) covered the card with woodchips to keep the it in place and feed the soil.

Tasks completed we chatted in the sunshine over tea and biscuits.

And we even got the first stamps on our Geen Hearts loyalty scheme cards, rewarding people for supporting Roots4Life in its mission. Find out more about their great work at https://roots4life.org/.
