Whether you’re looking for a hands-on pruning workshop, advice on restoring an old orchard, help improving biodiversity, or a long-term management plan for your site, The Orchard Project can provide practical, expert support tailored to your needs.
We work with community orchards, allotments, schools, local authorities, housing providers, community gardens, and landowners to help create, maintain, and improve orchards and orchard habitats.
Our support ranges from informal training sessions and volunteer activities through to detailed site surveys, orchard assessments, and management recommendations.
