The Orchard is on an urban allotment site in Old Trafford, on a previously hard to let plot (plot 49) which had become very overgrown.  Old Trafford Amateur Gardeners' Society decided to create a community orchard which would showcase local heritage varieties and provide an opportunity for local people to learn about growing fruit. The orchard was initially developed with a grant from the Big Lottery Fund Local Food fund (our grant ran from 2010-2012) and is a long term project which we hope will provide decades of enjoyment for local people. 



We:

  • Hold annual Apple Day events
  • Run workshops related to growing fruit (pruning, apple identification, preserving, grafting) - funding permitting
  • We will host regular work days - to keep the trees healthy and maintain the site.



Anyone living locally is welcome to get involved in the project.  For more information please contact orchard49@otags.org.uk or tweet to @Orchard49 with your questions.
