We had a miraculously successful turnout for our tree planting today!
Sixty two people (yes, 62!)came along on a windy but otherwise wonderful day to plant the Harvest Pack we got from the Woodland Trust.
We planted 420 blackthorn, crab apple, dog rose, elder and hazel trees to form a hedge along the edge of the community garden.
As well as planting our hedge we also
pruned and espaliered the fruit trees
weeded the paths and beds
filled a raised bed with soil
covered part of the garden with weed supressing fabric
litterpicked the park

Joy!!!
And we had the excitement of being visited by a 20week old baby & a 101 year old lady on the same day! What with guides, a local councillor, mothers with toddlers, the headteacher of the Infant School, young families, senior citizens, four LDS missionaries & some dogs, it was truly a COMMUNITY garden today.
Thank you to the Woodland Trust for donating the trees and thank you everyone who helped to make the day such a success.
