You may have noticed that the small community orchard in Cowick Barton Fields has been thriving in recent years 🌳🍎
That’s all thanks to the dedication and care of Cowick Roots & Recreation and our amazing resident volunteers, who have been pruning and maintaining the trees season after season.
We’re now ready to grow the orchard again.
We have a few spaces identified to plant additional trees, filling gaps and helping the orchard continue to flourish — providing more blossom, more fruit, and more habitat for wildlife.
You can sponsor a heritage fruit tree for £50.
This includes the tree, stakes and ties, and mulch around the base.
It’s a chance to contribute something lasting to your community — supporting the wellbeing of wildlife, local people and future generations.
You’re very welcome to plant the tree yourself (we can arrange a suitable time), or we can plant it on your behalf.
If you’d like to sponsor a tree, please contact us directly:

Or join our WhatsApp community group (details and link are on our page).
Please don’t DM us on Facebook.
Let’s grow! 🌿
