What Seed pays for this winter
12 bare-root apple trees, each with its stake and rabbit guard, planted in February.
What Grow pays for this winter
Grow gifts hire the chipper for January, so the old block’s prunings become mulch, not a bonfire.
What Orchard pays for this winter
Orchard gifts pay Ellie, our qualified pruner, for two full days on the oldest trees.
