Conniburrow Community Orchard

Conniburrow Community Orchard was built in the begining of 2017, funded by Big Local conniburrow. It has since grown and developed with the help of volunteers. During Covid, like many things took a hit on keeping up with maintaining the raised beds and surronding green spaces. In the past couple of months Emma (BLC Volunteer) with the help from residents have been working hard to bring the orchard back to its former glory. We value the small progress knowing that with contuied hard work the orchard will florish.

The Orchard is here to give Conniburrow residents ownership and pride within their environment, it offers the opportunity to benefit from the land and your own hard work. The Orchard is here for you and needs your support, the benefits are enormous!
