The orchard in early summer

We've let the grass grow long between the trees because it is full of wildflowers.




The nasturtiums and borage we've planted in the raised beds are growing well

We're delighted that Lowick in Bloom has received a Sustainable Development Fund Grant to purchase a community bee hive. We'll put this in a field close to the orchard, and hopefully the bees will benefit from the clover, birdsfoot trefoil and oxeye daises in the orchard grass. If you would like to learn a little about bee keeping, please come along to one of our sessions at the hive - we'll have bee suits and all the necessary equipment.
