Hose Reel

Thanks to Mr Gallop for making a reel for our orchard hose.  It looks cool.

New Signs For Our Dutch Leg

Today we put some new signs in for our Dutch Leg so we know the fruit varieties.

Fun in the sun

Today we put sheep poo on our fruit trees.  We are on the look out for more of this for our orchard.  All donations gratefully  received.
Lots of flowers and lots of bees and lots of worms and lots of children in the orchard today.

Orchard Maintenance

It was a busy day today in the orchard.  We had to copper spray our plums and peaches and we had a tidy up around the fruit trees.  We also discovered our first lemon!!!

2015 Environment Leaders

We have a great bunch of students helping in the orchard this year!  We will be meeting most Mondays at lunchtime.

Magpies

Look what's hanging around in the orchard.  Hopefully he will deter all the birds eating our apples.
