\n\tGreen Flag judging took place the day before and we await the results with interest. The second bee hotel, shown in the photo, is now in place down at Goldsland Farm and the first occupants were moving in as the small units were being fixed in place. We have taken the opportunity to add some sparrow communal nest-boxes on the top shelf. Conservation work has concentrated on strimming, weeding and clearing. Two new gooseberries have been added to the heritage gooseberry collection at the Elizabethan Orchard and several new herbs (all donated) have been planted in the Physicians of Myddfai garden including Vervain, Betony and Valerian. This year looks promising for apples and plums and there should be plenty to share round if you fancy tasting some real old-fashioned apples fresh off the trees. Pears do not seem to have done so well.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tWe have been using the money raised by the Craft fair raffle to help out Wenvoe Primary School with plants, raised beds and compost. There are always jobs to be done so if you can spare an hour or two, do get in touch.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 38 walkers turned up at the end of May on a fine day to do the Orchard Walk which we had arranged as part of the Vale of Glamorgan Walking Festival.
