Two groups came out to help at the workparties earlier this month. Amazing how much a small but dedicated few can achieve.
The strawberries were thinned, the mulch pile was spread around the orchard, and a new path created, the compost area was cleaned up, a new mason bee house was installed, the garlic and herb beds were topped up with soil and the shed was cleaned out and organized.
