What is it?
A community orchard is an open to all green space where the community maintains and shares in the bounty of an orchard. It’s a space where you can grab an apple on the way to school, or some plums to make your own plum jam!
Where is it?
You’ll find the Crosstown Community Orchard on Mobberley Road, behind the layby near before Travis Perkins. It’s easy to reach on foot from the town centre / Crosstown area and there is limited parking in the layby too.
Can I get involved?
You can help put the ‘community’ in community orchard. Sign up to our mailing list to receive details of volunteering opportunities – such as helping to plant the trees!
