Hedge Planting

It's all go in the Hop Garden as the Hogs Back Hoppers replace the blackthorn hedge that runs along the edge of the hop garden.

In the spring sunshine over 80 blackthorn whips have already been planted along the hedge line.

The maintenance on the hedge will help create more wildlife-friendly habitat, although each whip needs its own protector to stop the resident deer from causing damage!

The team is just over half way through plugging gaps in the hedge and extending it along the natural hedge line.  Let's hope the sprint sunshine continues!
