Lillington Community Orchard

Over the coming 18 months ARC will be planting and maintaining a Community Orchard in Lillington. It will be located between Lillington Primary School and Crown Way, with entry from Valley Road next to the Mencap building or from Crown Way near Tescos.

Preparation and tree planting sessions will take place in February and March on the following dates:

Sat 1st Feb, Sat 8th Feb, Sat 15th Feb, Weds 19th Feb (half term week), Sat 1st March and Sun 9th March. 

All sessions 1 til 3pm.

We may cancel a session if the weather looks really bad so please contact us on the morning if you are in any doubt.

We will be planting 25 apple trees of different varieties. Over the coming 18 months we will also be organising follow up sessions to maintain the trees, improve biodiversity on the site, and learn about using the fruit as the trees start to produce.
