About US - WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED?

Created Colwall Village Garden

Planted over 350 fruit trees on our land

From a bare field of 6.5 acres, over a period of 12 years, we've created a community hub with a restored apple packing shed, traditional orchard, and over 60 allotment plots to rent.

Planted over 350 fruit trees on our land

Planted over 350 fruit trees on our land

We've been busy planting a mixture of orchard fruit and nut trees at the two sites that we own and have in excess of 350 specimens all which will grow to become large traditional orchard trees.

Purchased Lugg's Mill Orchard

Created over 700m of new native species hedging

The beautiful Lugg's Mill orchard - a site with veteran native trees and a lovely stream is now home to apple and cherry orchards and an orchard wildflower meadow.

Created over 700m of new native species hedging

Our volunteers have been busy planting lots of native hedgerow plants - to provide food, shelter and a home to countless birds, insects and other animals.

Worked with the wider community

Created 2 acres of orchard wildflower meadows

We've worked in partnership with the local community - here children from a local school. To educate, to share skills and to have fun!

Created 2 acres of orchard wildflower meadows

We've created over 2 acres of orchard wildflower meadows and have showcased our land in the hope and expectation that others will emulate us.

Built our membership

We couldn't function without our volunteers and now have our 200 members of our group. Our sincere thanks to all who help and support us.

Made lots of locally produced food

We have many members skilled at producing delicious food and we revel in the delights of home made produce - fruit juice, jams, jellies. chutneys and honey.

Held some great events!

From Wassail to Apple Day, from Mistletoe Fair to Blossom Picnic we love to get together, to socialise and celebrate all things orchardy!

Researched our orchard heritage

Colwall has a rich and well-documented history of commercial fruit growing. We've delved into the past to find out more about our orchard heritage and published an orchard heritage trail leaflet.

Got all arty!

Worked to help others with their orchards

We love to use our wonderful sites as a venue for other activities. Here Colwall Village Garden hosts an exhibition as part of h.Art - a countywide celebration of local artists.

Worked to help others with their orchards

From harvesting fruit, to pruning or planting trees we've helped numerous local landowners with practical orchard work. In doing so we've helped to keep traditional orchards as a feature of our local area.
