This is an afternoon of free seasonal activities outdoors in our beautiful orchard located within St Ann's Al....

Our volunteers have been busy all winter developing new spaces on The Nursery for a new and impoved cut flower patch, a whole new plot for community veg and lots more habitats for wildlife.

We're enjoying seeing the blossom forming on the trees ready for the world's pollinators and our newly built deadhedges are the perfect shelter for hedgehogs, insects and nesting birds.

It's been muddy, wet and unglamourous work, but all worth it in the long run as spring starts to arrive, like a big thank you present!

What a wonderfully busy day of workshops that took place on Saturday.

Leo spent the morning on St Anns Community Orchard sharing his fruit tree pruning knowledge, surrounded by snowdrops and some winter sunshine, and of course lots of trees!

Paul also led a brilliant full-day permaculture workshop, including a trip to Ecoworks Community Garden to see their sustainable practices in action. The crocuses were out in full bloom up there, spring is almost here.

Thank you to everyone who joined us - we hope to see you again soon.
