Community Orchard Project 2024 - 2025
We are excited that our Coronation Living Heritage Orchard is progressing well this winter.
​
To help support other community organisations we are establishing the orchard through an Adopt a Tree for free scheme. The trees will be marked up over the next few months with links to each of the organisations who have helped establish the orchard.
​
Dozens of representatives from local community organisations have come along to our weekend work parties to help dig holes, plant trees and install tree shelters. We have been busy watering the young trees over the exceptionally dry Spring and Summer. Drop us a line or turn up at weekend work party - 10.30 every Saturday.
​
A big thank you to Laverstock and Ford Parish Council for a Community Grant to help us improve access to the orchard and River Bourne chalk stream in Barn Field.
Thank you also to the Wessex Community Fund for providing funding for rain harvesting, interpretation and maintenance equipment for the orchard and the wildflower meadow in Barn Field.
