On Wednesday 2nd of December we began work on our first site at Prestbury Beaumont. A few or them
Pictured are (left to right) Phil Shaw, Nicola Gower-Jones (project manager), Bill Pettipiece (deputy project manager) and Edwin Clarke (Beaumont's Head Gardener). Several other workers managed to avoid the camera!
The first job was to begin clearing the ground around the existing apple trees in the old orchard, and to begin work on a compost heap.
The second working party is planned for Friday December 11th, 10.30am - 2.30pm.
I joined the working party yesterday, Friday 11 December, and was very impressed with the start the team have made to the old orchard at Prestbury Beaumont. It is a great project and I have some photos of 'work in progress' which I will post here once I have worked out how to load photos.
