Thank you to Cumbria Life Magazine and everyone who voted for us in the Cumbria Life Awards!
We were thrilled to win the Best Environmental Project Award for our volunteer work. Our Vol coordinator couldn't attend the awards, so we took the award to her instead at the tree nursery!

Roof gardens, cakes, and construction complications...Attention was focussed on more scrutiny of our less that perfect polytunnel construction instructions, a bit of weeding and of course, a bit of well earned R&R to tackle tea and cake. https://loom.ly/s9IHKkw #accesstoeden @heritagefunduk

What a scorcher in Penrith yesterday. Our fruit trees were thriving under the hot sun but volunteers were feeling the heat as we tackled the instructions for a new polytunnel which we hope will protect our plants and the volunteers from the vagaries of our Cumbrian climate in the coming months.
