The villagers of Lidgate had a truly wonderful day of planting a new orchard on the 5th of February. We had perfect weather for the occasion. We estimate that 60 volunteers helped, and between us we planted 70 fruit trees as well as 90 metres of hedging. All of the trees were also dedicated to villagers, friends and relatives. We hope that between such a large group, we'll be able to keep on top of watering this summer! Our sincere thanks for the support and generosity of the Wills Trust in granting us the perfect plot of land to establish this new community amenity, to be enjoyed for generations to come.
