The Ditchingham Community Orchard continues to thrive thanks to the dedication of Bungay Conservation Volunteers. During a recent session, volunteers worked hard to remove invasive plants, clear around young fruit trees and apply protective mulching, helping them to establish and flourish.

It is encouraging to see the Orchard developing into a peaceful and attractive space, enjoyed by both residents and wildlife, with early blossom appearing and birds active in the hedgerows.

The Parish Council is very grateful for the continued support of Bungay Conservation Volunteers. A new bench has now been delivered and will be installed shortly, providing a place for visitors to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Further volunteer sessions, including hedge planting later in the year, are planned as the Orchard continues to grow for the benefit of the whole community.
