  Mowing and whipper-snippering, plus some weeding and checking of nursery plants. Watering if necessary, and checking the nets. We'll collect some mulch to spread in the nursery to keep the weeds down. We have air-layered some hawthorns, so will check them to see they are OK.
  

  New-comers welcome. Please email heritagefruitssociety@gmail.com so we know you are coming. Morning tea is a chance to discuss issues and meet with other volunteers.
