Very successful community mission working with The Story Garden. Supporting one of their community outreach projects to revamp the outdoor space in a local housing area in Somerset Town.

Work had already begun to create a new orchard to revitalise some tired raised beds.

We completed the planting of four fruit trees, 2 pear and 2 plum, giving the a good start by digging in lots of well rotted manure and staking them to give them stability while they establish.

As well as the tees we help to fill newish constructed raised beds with top soil and manure, a lot good calorie burning activities. Each bed is allocated to a different resident to grow food!

Soon the fruit trees will be planted with ornamental plants and flowers around them, we might be back to help with that!
