from Harwell Community Orchard Group (HarCOG)
A team of volunteers has been looking after the young hedgerow plants for the Community Orchard at the Rec and whilst some plants have not survived, there are a good number that are doing well. We have been using the newly purchased water bowser and have just received a delivery of mulch which has been spread to retain moisture in the soil and suppress the growth of weeds. We are now in the final stages of ordering the fruit trees which will be planted inside the hedgerow.
Thank you to those people who have expressed an interest in sponsoring a tree – hopefully you have already been contacted and an email with more details will be sent out soon. If you would like to sponsor a tree and haven’t heard from us yet, please contact Sustainable Harwell on sustainable@harwellvillage.uk.
