NG Bailey’s people team sent a group of wonderful corporate volunteers to collect apples and maintain our organic orchard

We are very grateful to the team of volunteers from NG Bailey who joined our regular conservation volunteers at the community orchard to collect fallen apples, sort them, clear vegetation from under trees using traditional sickles, compost waste and protect our comfrey plants.

The group had the opportunity to picnic in the sunshine among the trees, sample some fresh, organic apple juice, taste pears and have a go at picking apples from the highest branches using the fruit picker.

With a bigger group, we have been able to continue preparing the orchard for the winter months and to make it look wonderful for the Apple Day celebration at the orchard on Sunday 12th October (12 – 4 within Bowling Community Orchard). Come and enjoy the appely fun for all ages!
