Delighted to work with @MidDevonDC to create a plan for mowing our community orchard much less than in previous years: the flowers & grass will now be left to grow long for wildlife, with just a few paths & picnic spots for humans & dogs.More pics in a few weeks ππ¦ππͺ²ππ¦π¦’πͺΊ
Wahey, congratulations to us for winning a Britain In Bloom "Outstanding" award for the Tiverton Community Orchard last night: "An inspirational project which will greatly enhance community foraging and well-being. Fit for the future. Fantastic project."

Fantastic - if slightly surprising - to see almonds, apples, cherries, gooseberries and blackcurrants already making their appearance in the Tiverton Community Orchard πππ«π₯
The oh-so-beautiful signs are here and going up just in time for our grand opening on Friday at 11am (behind Morrisons in Tiverton - see previous tweets for invite)
Weβre almost there on our orchard fundraiser, with 10 days to the grand opening: can anyone pitch in with someπ°to push us over the line and get the fences and signboards up before next Friday ?

Please don't replace turf with plastic grass. It:
π Offers no food and shelter to wildlife
π± Has a high carbon footprint
β οΈ Wears out and ends up in landfill
π¬ Sheds microplastics which wash into rivers & the sea
π¦ Worsens flooding
π Looks rubbish
Yippee, our first pollinator π in the new Tiverton community orchard behind Morrisonsπππ
(Please contribute to our crowdfunder if u can, to make signs + buy hedges & last plants: https://t.co/rwsOPfelDp)
