Adopt a fruit tree
Join Organiclea’s Orchard Project and help us plant over 200 fruit trees in the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Make a gift of a tree for a birthday, Christmas or anniversary present or donate a tree to mark a special occasion or as a memorial. £20 pays for the purchase, planting and care of one fruit tree at our Hawkwood community growing site in Chingford, London.
o Recipients will receive a ‘planting certificate’, and simple woodcarved label will be attached to the tree to mark this gift.
o The recipient and donor will be invited to a seasonal fruit celebration during the young tree’s early years, and are always welcome to visit Organiclea’s growing site on our regular open days and see our orchard taking shape and growing!
The fruit from the orchard will be distributed through our locally-run vegetable and fruit box scheme and other local events which aim to encourage all to eat local fruit and vegetables in season. They will also be a valuable resource for community training courses that take place at our Hawkwood site.
By helping to establish this orchard at Organiclea’s growing site you will be:
o Helping to ensure access to local seasonal fruit now and for future generations.
o Preserving traditional regional fruit varieties.
o Providing an excellent wildlife habitat – good for the bees, people and the planet.
o Supporting Organiclea’s growing efforts in Northeast London to make more healthy and sustainably produced food available to more local people.
o Helping reduce this area’s carbon footprint by creating greater opportunities for people to access locally sourced food.
o Supporting the development of Organiclea’s community market garden – which we hope will bring a more fruitful future for all.
