WORK was carried out during the final community work party of the year at Bridport Community Orchard. A green fingered group of volunteers got to work on Monday, December 21 - completing a wide variety of jobs. The work party had been postponed from the previous Sunday when there had been a heavy rainfall. On the second attempt the group were able to enjoy dry, yet breezy conditions. They completed a set of jobs to tide them over until the new year, including: Weeding the pollinator bed and removing couch grass and creeping buttercup Reducing the height of the hedge between allotments and the orchard - the work was started during the week by a volunteer and was continued on Monday - though there is still more work to be done
