A morning spent snipping off and unearthing bramble risings from the meadow space on the edge of the orchard. A few wildflowers starting to emerge now and plenty of hawthorn blossom surrounding us.

A pleasant morning enjoying the sunshine before the rain predicted later

Fact of the day - briar is used in the maufacturing of tobacco pipes.

Raking news just coming in….

Three goodgymers met this morning to transform a patch of ground into a haven for wildflowers and diversity. Let’s go over to our roving reporter Richard for more.

Richard: Thanks Gary. It’s a warm one.

Thanks Richard. Informative as always. After the patch was cleared using scythes and rakes it was then scarified 👻. Finally the seeds were spread and watered. Hopefully in the next year the area will transform into a sea of colour and life.

Until next time…

The raspberries haven't had this much real estate to breath and drink in a long time. But our dedicated team of weed rippers sorted that out in no time! Barny and Jackie were very grateful that this monstrous task was done so well.

The work was partly sponsored by warm drinks and biscuits that the Berry Maze have been providing recently too, which we're very grateful of too!

Thanks for coming everyone, see you again next month!
