Meigle Community Orchard

Overview

Take a Pride in Meigle have recently had the opportunity to establish a new community orchard in three open spaces around Glebe Drive and Belmont Place in Meigle. They wish to grow around 30 fruit trees of different species, which will include some heritage varieties.

The group have recently been trained in fruit tree husbandry and orchard maintenance which includes pruning, harvesting and making good use of the fruit.

In partnership with our Community Food Growing Officer the group would like to inform the wider community of their proposals and to invite anyone with an interest to get involved.

Why your views matter

While this has been introduced by Take a Pride in Meigle, this is your community orchard and so we need to hear everyone's views.  So if you live in the area or even if you're a regular visitor please click on the survey link below.  Your ideas and suggestions are welcomed too and will be invaluable in helping us take this project forward.

Whilst being relatively low maintenance, community orchards can bring a sense of ownership to those living in the area as well as providing essential habitats and food for pollinators and will most importantly result in delicious fresh produce for all the community to enjoy.
