Mulching and tidying Hollingdean Community Orchard

It was a quiet Tree Guardians session on this first Sunday in February. A light drizzle and the lure of Seedy Sunday in town, meant the numbers were very small. So small, in fact it was a solo mission! Hilary weeded and mulched a tree in the Hollingdean Community Orchard at Hollingdean Park, did a general litter pick, and started work battling with a cherry tree stump sending up suckers. 

Hilary says “Whilst having a big team is great for powering through – sometimes its actually amazing what you can get done, and what you notice when your out on your own – including the starts of spring sprouts on the trees, and more bird visitors!” 

Well done Hilary, it must have been wonderful to have this green space to your self.
