We’re looking for our first physical home: a working nursery and a substantial community growing space, side by side.
Picture a large community orchard, communal planters and a place to learn by doing.
Local people sharing the care, rediscovering forgotten varieties and trying new ones together.
Our aim is for orchard proceeds to go back into the local community, after running costs and any agreed arrangement with the landowner.
A nursery full of possibility.
We want to grow plants that invite a closer look: familiar favourites, varieties worth rediscovering and something new to try.
A working nursery where curiosity has a place, and the plants we grow help support a wider purpose.
Meet us at the markets.
Find us out and about with plants to discover and growing ideas to share.
This is where we’ll share our upcoming market appearances, with dates, locations and what we’re bringing along.
An orchard with local roots.
The community orchard would be a substantial part of the site, bringing people together around fruit, seasons and shared care. We’d like to make room for forgotten varieties as well as new discoveries, and for practical knowledge to pass from one grower to another.
Its purpose is to give something back locally. How that works would be developed with the community and any landowner, with running costs and responsibilities understood from the start.
A place we can grow into.
We haven’t found our first home yet. We’re looking for somewhere that can support both the day-to-day nursery and meaningful community growing — a place to put down lasting roots, rather than squeeze the shared space into a corner.
If you know of land or a potential partnership, you can prepare a space suggestion at the potting bench below. These are our ambitions for the site; the details will grow with the place and the people involved.
Good things grow together.
