Orchards were once a significant part of the British landscape, but their presence has declined by 90% since the 1950s due to urban development. The loss of greenspace and biodiversity in our cities is contributing to the climate and biodiversity crises that we face. More and more people are living in cities with poor access to natural spaces, isolated from their neighbours and lacking the benefits that nature brings to our health and wellbeing.

Help us put orchards back into the heart of our urban communities! Your donation will allow people living in UK’s most deprived areas to enjoy fresh produce and a tranquil inner-city refuge. We will plant six new orchards together with communities who want to improve their neighbourhoods, training 40+ volunteers with the right skills to look after them long-term. The orchards will create valuable wildlife habitats and spaces for neighbours to connect with each other and nature.
