Our Community Orchard

Thanks to Jane’s endeavours, Harting Climate Action Network has successfully applied to the Coronation Living Heritage Fund, through Chichester District Council, for a Community Orchard of ten different varieties of Sussex apple trees.

These trees were planted at Lower Culvers in early March, with the kind permission of Hyde Housing. They are the foundation of a community orchard, which will produce a variety of both eating and cooking apples for us all to share in years to come.

This orchard has been planted by Harting Climate Action Network, with help from some of the Harting Primary School children, who came along with trowels, spades, gloves and lots of enthusiasm.  (The garden tools were donated by Harting Horticultural Society).

They are maiden trees so we will all have to be patient to await our first apples!
