New Strimmer For Warminster Community Orchard

Sunday 2nd November 2025

News from Warminster Community Orchard:

Well, developments are taking place! Here is John trying out the Community Orchard’s new strimmer. Impressively quiet and effective. A different piece of equipment to the scythe (I’m bound to say that!) but very, very welcome. This purchase was only made possible through two grants from Warminster Lions Club (UK) and Wiltshire Wildlife Community Energy Fund. Fantastic.

We have been given some wildflower plugs and have chosen three areas near the main footpath to put the new strimmer through it’s paces. We will be planting these up and defining the area once it is done.

Revitalising The Field At Fore Street, Warminster

Saturday 1st November 2025

Amy Darbyshire, of Sustainable Warminster, writes:

Thank you to those who came and volunteered with idverde on Thursday morning to revitalise the field off of Fore Street. It’s going to be a nicer place for our pollinators and of course for our town!

Plug plants planted included wild marjoram, vipers bugloss, common knapweed, scabious, and red clover.

Amazing effort, looking forward to seeing it buzzing with life!
