Community Orchard Planting

On Saturday 16th December, we were joined by a band of volunteers, the youngest of which was just one week old, to plant 12 fruit trees in our Community Orchard behind the Village Hall.

This is the third year of planting in our Orchard, with the first fruits ready for harvesting in Autumn 2024.

Thanks to our tree sponsors, who are: Hannah Absalom, Ann-Marie O’Riordan, Jane Hartley, Mike Heath, Stephen Lucas, Rob Jones, Nikki Ochtman of RG10 magazine, Christian Mockler, Beccy Cartwright, Ann Berne, Lee Cripps, and Tracy Ray.

And thanks to the kind help of Adrian Larkham, Tony Lehain, and David & Christopher Parker, who helped the sponsors plant the trees.

Next year, we’ll be planting our final batch of six trees, bringing the Community Orchard up to 30 fruit trees. If you would like to go on the waiting list to sponsor one of our remaining trees, please email: clerk@charvil.com
