We enjoyed returning to Holgate allotments in the daylight to see the results of our previous dark tasks to help clear a disused allotment for a community orchard and apiary. It was great to see how much we have already cleared on previous tasks. Our task this morning was to clear the roots from a new section further down the allotment as well as clearing a raised bed of rubble, roots and rugs. It was wonderful to welcome 3 new Goodgymers; Claire, Alastair and Paul. Claire, Alistair, Paul, Ros, Tay and Louise got to work clearing the new section whilst Nicky, Vicky and Laura cleared the raised bed. The hour went quickly and it was good to see how much we'd achieved in it.

Holgate Allotment Community Orchard and Apiary
Transforming an overgrown and unused allotment plot into an orchard and public space for the local community to enjoy.

Holgate Allotment Association are a volunteer group of allotment holders who try to make Holgate Allotments a great place to socialise and grow veg. We have an allotment plot on the boundary of our site which is unused and completely overgrown but which we think will make a lovely orchard and wildlife area with seating for the local community to enjoy. Clearing the site will be a massive task, but it's one we want to embark on this Autumn. Can you help?
