The Forest Garden has had a trim

Recently the Council brought contractors in to cut back the hedges on either side of the Forest Garden. The hedges had grown so much that they were in danger of becoming belts of trees, and were already shading out parts of the garden.

They have now been cut back to just under 2m high, which will allow us to maintain them properly in the future. They will thicken up pretty quickly and provide sites for nesting birds.
