We made the most of Thursday’s sunshine with a productive day at our community allotment!
Thanks to generous funding from the National Garden Scheme Community Grants Programme, we’ve started building deer-proof fencing around our crop plots.
With help from our team, all the posts are now in, and our brilliant maintenance duo, Frank and Mick, have begun crafting hand-made gates.
