Dragon Orchard are delighted to be taking the positive step of planting an area of fruit trees, at a time when English orchards are in decline. Our intention has been to plant an interesting amenity orchard with diverse
varieties of fruit trees which have been carefully selected with help and advice from the nurserymen at Frank P Matthews. These include some traditional and some new varieties of apples, pears, Mirabelle plums,
greengage and quince. We also asked an ecological landscape design company, Reckless Orchard, to create an interesting layout including a place to sit, comtemplate and appreciate the environment.

The planting took place on February 2005. It has been a delight to be able to take this positive and beneficial step in the life of the fruit farm. We are now looking for people who would like to support the future of the orchard by sponsoring the new trees.

You can Sponsor A Tree as a gift to celebrate a memorable event, a birthday or an anniversary, or to commemorate a loved one … or just because you love fruit trees and orchards.

Your Tree Sponsorship of £50 will cover:
• Planting, staking and rabbit-proofing a fruit tree
• An annotated orchard plan with your tree marked
• A opportunity to visit Dragon Orchard on an Annual Open Day over the next 5 years
• An information pack with details of the varieties to be planted
