Orchard Tree Fund

We had a fund raising campaign (2017) for our new tree project. People were so generous with donations of money 14 new heritage fruit trees were ordered and work started in the autumn (2017) to prepare the ground for tree planting in January 2018.

Orchard Pond Fund

We've been looking to install a large wild pond to attract a more diverse type of wildlife into the orchard, the pond will be left to its own devices, so it will interesting to see what turns up.
We are happy to announce that with the help of donations, volunteers and a local aquatics company supplying liners and bolders we have been able to realise this exciting project.
