On 14th March 2026 we planted 20 fruit trees - the start of the community orchard. A number of the trees are Gloucestershire heritage apple and plum varieties, along with pear and cherry. The trees produce will be for the members of the garden to share. We have used cactus guards to protect them temporarily while we wait for a deer and rabbit proof perimeter fence to be installed. Once the fence is up we will then plant more trees around the perimeter of the growing space.
