Help us create a new orchard for all the community to enjoy!
Come and help us plant the new orchard over at Diggle Street Park!

The Orchard Project and The Community Patch CIC have received some funding to make this possible. There will be lots more events and sessions in the future, including learning all about how to take care of the new orchard.

This will be a practical, hands-on day as we plant the new trees in the ground. Some of the tasks will be quite physical including barrowing woodchip, digging the ground with spades and using a tool to drive posts in.

Other tasks will be less physical, including placing the trees in their new homes and creating a map. Please come along for the enjoyment of coming together with the community, even if you’re not planting the trees! And feel free to ask us any questions.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear outdoor shoes. We will provide gloves and all the tools.

No previous experience necessary, as we will talk you through the planting process before we get started.

We’ll provide snacks and hot and cold refreshments, but please bring anything else you may need to be comfortable.

All ages welcome, under 16s will need to attend with an adult, there are toilets nearby that will be available to use.
