I was pleased to take up an invitation from Lynda Radford to visit the wonderful Pleasley Community Orchard earlier today.
Pleasley Community Orchard was established to provide a free-to-access orchard space where fresh, locally sourced food may be freely available to anyone in the community, whether or not they are part of the Friends of Pleasley Community Orchard (FPCO) group. They aim to put on fun, lively events within the orchard, joining with other local groups, such as schools, in order to combat isolation, loneliness and to cross boundaries between groups of people who wouldn't otherwise be in contact with each other. You can read about what they are doing here -> Pleasley Community Orchard – Growing with you… (wordpress.com) It is a really fantastic project which has taken a lot of hard work. I'm looking forward to trying some of their honey.
