We have not forgotten the pollinator
project and over the summer have been working on organising new
plots. We hope to be working with local residents in Crediton
getting them involved in projects near them in the
Autumn.
Our Belle Parade site suffered a
bit through the lock down but working parties, taking care to
observe social distancing, have been out weeding and we have done
further planting to make good some gaps. It has been looking
great and we get a lot of positive comments from passers-by. We are
pleased to report that the bees are loving the site!
We have saved seeds from some of the
plants that had gone over and plan to save more, ready for sowing
for plants for next year. If all goes well we hope to have a seed
sowing day or two at some point, would love people to join
in.
Thanks to Eve Malster's enthusiasm and
hard work, we hope to develop a Community Orchard. Other sites are
in the pipeline.
While we are still slowed down by
Covid-19, do look out for sites we could be working on when we
can.
