The Orchard Project

If Esther’s story has inspired you to plant an urban orchard, The Orchard Project is the organisation to advise you. With a mission to refruit the country, it works in partnership with communities nationwide to plant, manage, restore and harvest from their own orchards, rebuild orchard skills and celebrate orchard heritage. Most recently it has helped to create 12 new community orchards in Leeds. Believing that such projects can transform communities, their aim is to swathe cities in trees, providing beautiful blossom and tasty fruit everywhere.
