This is a reminder from Transition Marlborough
(TM) and Marlborough Community Orchard (MCO) for the upcoming pruning even

n in Marlborough, before moving on to St Mary’s churchyard, then to the esp

at St Peter’s churchyard. The main jobs will be to take care of any necess

ke adjustments, giving the trees some much needed t.l.c.
This event will start at 0930 in
Wye House Garden and we hope to finish by around 1230. You can join us for
as long as you are able, all help is much appreciated. If you are un
able to attend at the start you are most welcome to call Philippa Davenport
on 07963313822 or Gerald Payne on 07771 937183 to find out where we are if
you wish to join us later.
This event is open to all with an interest in fruit trees, th e community orchard concept and helping Marlborough’s flourish and grow.&nb sp; Trish Rowell will be with us as usual to help those who wish to learn a bout pruning, improving their technique and/or learning about general fruit tree care. We will be able to answer questions about Marlborough Com munity Orchard’s ethos of helping to make Marlborough a town in an orchard rather than one with an orchard. If you do attend and you have them, can you please bring secateurs, loppers, pruning saws and/or long handled p runers. A trowel or small fork, as well as a kneeler would be useful for weeding around the base of the trees if you would prefer this type of w ork
