This week the children were very excited to get to work and we started the day by covering the orchard area in weed membrane. We then began the process of scooping up the bark and placing it into the wheelbarrows before transporting it over to the orchard. Ada and Hannah worked hard together and made an excellent job of raking out the bark evenly. Although we did run out, the orchard is beginning to look amazing. We also had a new wooden bench donated to place in this area and we are very much looking forward to our summer picnics sitting under the fruit trees.

After discovering a mouse house last week, this week we found a large family of millipedes under our flagstones. They were very fast and very long!
