Aldingbourne Blog

There are many social enterprises across the Aldingboune Trust, so we have set up this blog to tell you more
about what we do.  Our staff, volunteers and the people we support are always up to something, and we
​want to share their experiences with you.  

Preparations for the Spring

Our horticulture team are actively involved in maintaining the trees, shrubs and plants around the Country Centre site.  The team have been busy on the orchard today with staff, volunteers and people we support.


James Simpson was having great fun pruning the willow ready for it to start shooting in the Spring.  James really enjoys working in the orchard and especially likes it when the apples and pears are ready for picking and eating! 
 
The trees were all part of the original orchard from the early days of the Country Centre when the Trust started as a horticultural enterprise.  With the development of the new Quarry building, the trees were carefully and lovingly moved to their current position so that they could continue to grow and produce fruit for the people we support to enjoy.  With many varieties of apples and pears, we also have a raspberry patch which is being pruned back ready to produce a crop for us this summer.
