MORE than 30 people helped with planting a community orchard at Woodlands Farm.
Sponsored by Barclay Sitesavers, the aim is to create a home for wildlife and help conserve ancient apple and cherry varieties which would once have been common in the area.
Planting at the farm, in Shooters Hill, Greenwich, included more than 1,000 hawthorn hazel and blackthorns for a new hedge, a Kentish pippin and Golden Knob to start the orchard.
