We Know Have An Orchard!

We Now Have An Orchard!

The senior members of the Enviro Group planted our fruit trees at lunch time today.  They've been in our vision for a long time, so it's great to finally get them in the ground.  We hope they feed Sunnyhills for years to come.

Experiments to test the soil to see if it is suitable for planting fruit trees

On Wednesday the 7 September the Enviro group conducted experiments to test the soil in the area where we are proposing to plant the fruit trees.  Fortunately the soil passed.  The next job is to work out exactly where to plant them so they get the maximum amount of sunlight and enough space to grow
