Donkey Lane Community Orchard Blossom Day

28th April 2019 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Orchard

Most of the initial clearance work has now been completed and the site is much more safe to visit.

Unfortunately due to safety concerns both the den and tree house have had to be removed. Now that the light can get to the trees we are able to see some welcome fresh growth and considerable blossom.

We all knew about the Chinnor plum and it being a solitary specimen. Well we have now found and cleared three specimens. They are all covered in blossom and we wait with great interest as to the fruits.

For the first time in many, many years the orchard will be open to welcome visitors to see what has been achieved and to find out the plans for the future   Come along and enjoy the blossom. We will be delighted to show you around and we hope that you will enjoy a cup of tea and possibly a cake.

We will also be hosting a free Easter Egg trail for children.
