We have 6 orchard sites to date:
The first is at Barn Crescent, planted in 2012.
In 2013 we expanded with two new sites at City Rec and Digby Road.

In 2014 we added Sayers Close in Greenham.
Our fifth orchard was planted at Orchardene in 2017. This was a micro orchard of only 5 trees as we searched for space to expand.
In 2019 we planted a model raised bed for edible crops on Lock Island in Central Newbury. We've already experimented with a kayak, using the seating space for herbs, so the bed is the next stage and acts as a test for other edible bed projects.
Our latest micro orchard is at Roebuts Close, where 6 trees were planted in February 2022.
You can see where they are on the map and there's a more detailed plan on each site's page.
We are always looking for new sites. If you want to support these new sites or have other ideas please tell us!
