Holgate Allotment Community Orchard and Apiary
Holgate Allotment Association are a volunteer group of allotment holders who try to make Holgate Allotments a great place to socialise and grow veg. We have an allotment plot on the boundary of our site which is unused and completely overgrown but which we think will make a lovely orchard and wildlife area with seating for the local community to enjoy. Clearing the site will be a massive task, but it's one we want to embark on this Autumn. Can you help?

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

The evenings are finally getting lighter hooray! Which means we can finally start some work on the apiary site at Holgate Community Orchard.

Join us for some cutting and lopping of brambles. Bring some sturdy gloves and wear longer leggings/trousers as they can get pretty spiky and don't wear your snazziest shoes as it can get pretty muddy here!

If you're lucky we may even head to the Fox afterwards for some refreshments...

How are you getting there?
