Latest Fruits Information News Thursday, May 28, 2009Community orchard project bears fruit Located in Philips Park in Clayton, the orchard boasts 26 trees offering twelve different varieties of apple as well as pears, plums and cherries. Situated on the allotment site, the community facility also has bushes and plants including rhubarb, grapes, strawberries, raspberries and a variety of other berries. Sean McGonigle, Director of Regeneration at New East Manchester said: "This is a fantastic initiative that shows what can be achieved when we work in partnership with local people who have real passion and tremendous pride in their area. This orchard not only provides the community with fresh fruits but gives people who live in an urban environment access to nature. The Community Orchard Working Group led by local resident, Bill Booth, has shown steadfast commitment to the project and without them we couldn't have got it off the ground." Councillor Mike Amesbury, Executive Member for Culture and Leisure at Manchester City Council said: "This is a wonderful community resource where people can literally help themselves. The orchard has so many benefits for the local community and we plan to introduce similar schemes in parks and allotments across the city in the near future." Local resident, Bill Booth from the Community Orchard Working Group added: "After all the hard work, it's great we're able see local people enjoy the fruits of our labour. Philips Park is a wonderful green space and the orchard adds to the facilities already on offer for local residents. I hope everyone makes the most of all the free fruit we have here." A range of activities are scheduled throughout May to celebrate the opening including Tai Chi session, tours, talks and advice. The orchard is in an enclosed site, and opening times will vary depending on the time of year. These will be displayed on a notice board outside the space together with details of any planned activities and events taking place on the site. posted by fruitsinfo at
