Our volunteers braved the hot sun on Saturday to cut around and water our young apple trees which have not yet established. Thankfully our well has not run dry.
It's the time of year for the annual cut of our wild flower meadow at the Peace Oak Orchard as all the seeds have dropped. Many thanks to the Eynsham Nature Recovery Network for the use of their tractor and grass cutter and to volunteer Nick for expertly cutting around our fruit trees!

Had a wonderful time helping to marshal Oxford’s Spring kidical mass- inspiring to see folk of all ages - and some baby passengers - enjoying the streets of Oxford on two and sometimes three wheels! oxfordclarion.uk/kidical-mass...
Kidical Mass, spring 2026
They came on balance bikes, cargo bikes, tandems, bikes with stabilisers, bikes with doll seats, and just plain bikes. But they filled the city with energy, and joy, and the tinkling of bicycle bells....
