Support nature by gardening in Saltwell Park!
Help us with light gardening, weeding, pruning, inspecting the trees, planting in our pollinator bed, keeping paths neat – whatever is needed according to the season.
Known as the Apple Bee Community Orchard, our orchard was planted three years ago and contains around 80 young fruit trees, mostly different varieties of apple but also pear, plum and crab apple. It was planted for the community to enjoy, to provide fruit for local people and to create a healthy, relaxing environment for current and future generations. The orchard is already part of the nature syllabus for local primary school children who are regular visitors
