New growth on Hedge Boundary
The work to complete the refurbishment of the Allotment site boundaries has now been completed thanks to the hard work of both committee members, plot holders and volunteers.
Much debris from both sides of the hedge has been cleared and many saplings planted to fill in the gaps. The saplings planted during the autumn work are already showing good signs of growth as can be seen in the photograph.
