Thanks Abi

At Orchard 49 we really appreciate volunteers, the Orchard can't do without them.  This year Abi Paine came along, she found out about us via Google and volunteered very regularly on our Monday evening sessions.  Sadly though, at the outset she said she'd be leaving for Australia so wouldn't be around for long.

That may be so, and we said Bye to Abi last week, but while she volunteered she was a star.  On our last session it was raining really hard, so we made bee boxes under cover and here she is with her bee box.

And with bee box builder, extraordinaire, Pete Abel...

These boxes will be painted and sold to raise money for the Orchard.

Abi also set up an instagram account for the orchard. If you'd like to follow us on Instagram look for Orchard_49
