Trees are good…

But trees that people have a lasting relationship with are even better. As access to food becomes an increasingly vital issue, it’s essential that we have strong, resilient orchards in our communities. That requires good knowledge and an understanding of key skills like grafting and pruning.

We’re really excited to see the big wave of tree planting, and the tide is changing when it comes to us recognising the importance of ecological local food systems for humans as well as other species. We want to support people to ensure that planted trees become loved and cherished trees. Fruit trees offer us an abundance of food when we care for them well. We have an incredible opportunity to leave a lasting legacy, and that depends so much on how we treat the trees we share our city with.

We’re a workers coop, which means that we don’t have a boss, and we make decisions democratically.
