Community Orchard Survey
The Parish Council is writing to you as a resident of St Helen Without Parish to get your views on a project which involves planting between 10-15 fruit trees. This would be a Community Orchard on a small part of the Sandleigh Road Recreation Ground and would be funded by a grant.
Published: 30 January 2026
The trees would be planted on the north of the site occupying c.20 metres shown in red below:
Over the coming years, there could be a number of community activities linked to the orchard such as:
- Blossom picnic days
- Apple juice pressing (bring your own initially)
- Apple days/apple bobbing
- Wassailing (Twelfth Night)
- Activities for Dry Sandford school
