School grounds orchards
Hundreds of schools across the UK have discovered that a school orchard can be an effective and practical way of enriching learning and school life in many ways.
This booklet distils what we’ve learned from supporting the creation of school orchards in over 70 primary and secondary schools across England, Scotland and Wales.
The tips you’ll find here are school-tested, practical and inexpensive.
Our hope is that it will inspire you to get going and create your own school orchard and give you the practical guidance that you need to make it a success.
