Roberttown In Bloom project day with Transformers North.
Great day with the group learning new skills today.
We created a hazel and willow living hedge around the wetland scrape in the community orchard. Wildflower seeded the area with lots of raking of the soil.
Pruning and site clearance so the area is ready for planting of the orchard.
