As we promised we have now planted the new hedge saplings along the back fence in the Wolvercote Community Orchard, protected with some guards from “repurposed” from under the A34 to hopefully deter the badgers and rabbits who do like to dig! They are getting plenty of water at present but we are keeping watch in case the furry visitors feel particularly mischievous and will need to keep an eye on them in the summer months to ensure they don’t dry out. The plants were chosen by Jo for their ability to attract pollinators and other wildlife.
When you visit the orchard do cast and eye and let us know if you feel anything is untoward.
