Five of the team joined a fantastic session at Mitcham Orchard today, getting stuck into a variety of tasks!
We tackled two main jobs: Matthieu and Martina (welcome and well done on your first task) skillfully worked on covering the greenhouse, ensuring it's ready for whatever the weather brings. Meanwhile, Jade and Rhian teamed up with Clare to get some serious planting done, getting pumpkin and squash plants into the ground. They also did a great job clearing fallen plums, setting them aside for pickling!
A debit visit for three of the team and a little bonus job - cherry picking. Yum! Great work by everyone involved, making a real difference in this beautiful orchard.

Sustainability and wellbeing go hand in hand, so our projects address both environmental and social goals, such as addressing the cost of living crisis and strengthening community connections. We believe that a happier, healthier, more connected community is one that will have the greatest impact.
