Since the 1950s we have lost 63 per cent of our orchards through
development or neglect, and even though we have been able to grow
3,000 varieties of apple in England, almost 70 per cent of apples
we buy are imported. Common Ground has worked to interest local
communities in creating and saving orchards to provide fruit and
nuts, havens for wildlife and places of beauty. The Community
Orchards Handbook shows how to start your own Community Orchard,
from getting support to tackling legal issues, organising work,
selling produce and enjoying together the fruits of your work. It
gives suggestions on 'apple mapping' and saving local varieties,
and practical advice on planting, harvesting and safeguarding your
orchard. It includes a comprehensive resources section and is full
of examples of diverse Community Orchard projects across the UK.
