1. Plum walk
 

Some of our plum trees were planted from stones from the lunch boxes of the first children to attend the 'new' Coombes when it opened in 1971. All along this boundary there are things to gather and eat or observe - the plums, blackberries, hazelnuts. The hedgerows are full of life - requiring managing to keep the paths open yet keep their wild state - offering a place for rabbits and other creatures to live.
