Our volunteer growers have planted more than 40 metres of native hedging on our site at Treraven Farm and mulched it with a thick layer of woodchip. The extra hedgerows will protect our soil and veg crops from damaging winds while providing food and shelter for a wide variety of wildlife.
The hedging mixture is mainly hawthorn interspersed with plenty of hazel, bird cherry, dog rose, field maple and crab apple. It’ll have a long flowering period to attract pollinators followed by nutritious haws, hips, fruits and nuts.
Big thanks to volunteers Alex, Bryony, Charlotte, Claire, Francesca, Jo, Mark, Susan and Steve.
