Orchards

Social Farms & Gardens has advocated for, and supported Community Orchards for many years. This support has been provided through substantial funded initiatives, concise informational leaflets and resources, or simply through friendly and professional guidance offered via email or the phone.

Community Orchards Forum

Our 'Community Orchards Forum' is a space for positive information sharing and overcoming challenges. The forum meets quarterly.  Whether you are involved in a Local Authority, Housing Association, Town & Community Council or a local community group, everyone is welcome.  

Catch up with previous Community Orchards Forum recordings on our YouTube channel.
