The team created a new orchard at the Cripley Road allotments, adjacent to the Castle Mill graduate accommodation development. Just over 100 trees including varieties of apple, pear and plum have been planted as part of the landscape work. A separate planting of trees also benefits the community of badgers who live at the site – fondly known as the ‘badger hotel’ it was created when their original sett had to be relocated.
