Last week it was tree planting at
Grapes Hill Community Garden and today a group of us planted a mixed hedge of Holly, Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Crab Apples, Field Maple and Hazel along the edge of the
Norwich Community Agriculture site at Postwick, just beyond the east of Norwich. We also planted a single Red Oak.
The hedge will provide a windbreak to the west of the field we are renting, which will be used to grow a variety of market garden crops from this summer onwards.
