Woodland Trust is donating over 100 saplings<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We were pleased to hear that the Woodland Trust is donating over 100 saplings for our new hedgerow at The Bee Loud Glade. These will be delivered in the Autumn. A number of people have expressed an interest in the best plants for pollinating insects and we hope to have a handout prepared in the next couple of months on which ones to consider. So far we have planted the Bee Bee Tree (Tetradium daniellii), Buddleia, <\/em>Gipsywort, Lavender and Purple Loosestrife. Salvias <\/em>will be going in during March. We were not successful in getting RHS funding for this project but will be carrying on regardless.<\/p>\n

The pond at the Farm Orchard is in and very quickly became full of water. It has several aquatic plants placed in it including Iris and Marsh Marigold (aka Kingcups). Wildlife cameras left in the orchard recorded the usual suspects; rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, fox and song birds but also field mice and voles. A Conference pear has been planted along with numerous wild primroses.<\/p>\n

The Great British Spring Clean has been postponed until 11th September but we will continue to pick up litter on our sites in the meantime. Hopefully we will see more village-wide litter-picking activities as there is no shortage of waste material to be found once you start looking<\/p>\n
