Hi, as you are all probably aware, the benches and troughs have now been installed and the project is completed. There were many people in our community to thank because without you and others, this project would not have been achievable. There is still £72.81 left after everything has been paid for. Myself and others thought that this would help with buying plants in winter and spring to make the troughs always look their best. I hope that is ok. A huge thank you to everyone that has donated, I’m very humbled to live in a great community 🌈

Hi, an update, we are so close. Thanks to the allotment Society and Jeremy Derbyshire for excavating the base ready for the shuttering. The wood was supplied by Borleys Concrete and Kev himself will be pouring the concrete and finishing the base on Tuesday morning. The benches were ordered a few weeks ago and after chasing for an update, I have now been told they will be here next week. The troughs have been painted, the compost is ready and bagged, and flowers have germinated ready for planting out. Next week 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Next Saturday there will be a few of us from The Orchard Allotment Society along with Jeremy Derbyshire digging the soil out ready for concreting later in the week. If you are passing, say hello. We hope the installation will be complete by the end of the month ready for the summer
