Collingham's mini-orchard

 

In December 2009, our first mini-orchard was put into the grounds of John Blow School. 20 fruit trees are now planted and will hopefully produce lots of apples which can be harvested by children in future years.

Collingham Community Orchard

 

A Community Orchard can be a place where local and other varieties of fruit are grown by and for local people. Providing fruit to share and places to enjoy, they show how well we can live with nature as a friend and collaborator. An orchard could include the following objectives:

 

  • Conserving local fruit varieties
  • Encouraging wild life
  • Providing a place for recreation and quiet contemplation
  • Offering a harvest of fruit that can be shared
  • Allowing a host of educational activities
  • Involving the community in its development and management

2020 Green Vision held a public meeting on 24 March 2009, to gauge support in the village for this proposal. There is no doubt that this is seen as a very worthwhile idea, and a group is being set up to investigate.
