For local communities
There are many opportunities for community members to
support the centres in looking after their orchards, including help with:
- pruning, care and other gardening jobs
- designing for example Apple Day
posters
- teaching young people about fruit trees and how to care for them
- planning and preparing fruit based produce that can then be sold
- selling centre-grown fruit
- building seating, sculptures or mosaics
to make new orchards even more attractive places in which to stop and sit
If you would like to get involved as a volunteer, please speak to a support or youth worker at your local YMCA or Foyer.
