Community gardeners have been busy planting fruit trees at Longacre in Rockwell Green.

Supporters of Transition Town Wellington planted 30 trees – nine apples, six plums and greengages, nine cherries and five pears and a quince on Saturday.

Nettles and brambles had been cleared from the site over the last few weeks and more planting sessions are booked for January 11 and February 8. Visitors to the site will be able to pick their own fresh organic fruit free of charge once the trees are established. The area will also be a haven for wildlife.
