It has been a snowy start to the New Year in the Orchard. Fortunately our last work day was on Saturday 24th February and we were able to begin the pruning and make more preperations for the seated area in the Forest Garden.
The trees and fruit bushes are still lying dormant waiting for the warmer spring weather. Even if we humans aren’t busy in the orchard there is plenty of evidence left by the wildlife who make the orchard their home.
