Farm days 
 A small group of us has been keeping things going, meeting on Sunday afternoons at around 3pm.  
 
This will continue at least for the next few Sundays at the Community Farm or the Community Orchard in Poundbury 

3pm onwards

There is always a lot to do - weeding and tidying up for winter, scything and composting.   

The site is large and it is easy to socially distance.  And recently there are not more than six of us.  Email us if you'd like to come along.

Finishing touches to new raised beds in the polytunnel
Apple day - washing the apples
Tree planting
We have been offered a grant by The Tree Council to match a similar grant kindly offered by the Town Council, to buy trees.  The Woodland Trust is also giving us 420 trees in November, so we will have 1200+ young trees to plant before the end of 2020. This means we will have planted over 2000 trees in 2020!

We hope to get most of the trees planted during National Tree Week (28 Nov-6 Dec) by working with community groups, schools and colleges, and following strict guidance about tree planting during Covid-19. 

If other community groups or schools would like to get involved, please get in touch.  


We need to plant 1.5 billion trees in the UK to help tackle climate change!
