Community Orchard

Would you support a Community Orchard in Irthlingborough?

Irthlingborough Town Council are considering introducing a Community Orchard in Irthlingborough and would like to gauge the level of public support for such a project. The community would be responsible for the Orchard, therefore the project would require residents that are keen to be involved in planting and maintaining the fruit trees, this will be YOUR orchard.

The idea would be to introduce fruit trees to an area of the Town agreed upon by residents. It is hoped that an orchard would offer an area for members of the community to come together to grow and eat local organic fruit. This would be a legacy project for both current and future generations.

Please see the link below for more information regarding the benefits of such a project.
