From the vandalism an orchard grows, planted by the community for the community – a symbolic show of hope and resilience.

Come and join us at the Bute Park Community Orchard for the last session of 2025……

You can stay for as little or as long as you can.

We will be repairing the dead hedge and adding to it. Adding in some more bulbs.

We will also be planting a few Black Poplar trees. They like wet feet, and are extremely rare, but great for caterpillars and pollinators. The orchard is an old floodplain and is generally quite damp, so this spot could be good.

Ours will be part of a small hedge, along the woodland edge.

Tools provided, it’s a family friendly session and there will be cake (I promise πŸ«£πŸ˜…).
