This community-focused project aims to build resilience, strengthen the diverse community and move towards a regenerative culture. The first phase includes developing a mini orchard with 3 fruit trees and a communal courtyard vegetable plot. The project aims to engage and train volunteers in how to plant and cultivate food for the community, as well as better understand biodiversity and their own relationship with the natural world. It will also focus on reducing waste, sharing surplus through developing a local ‘food map’, hosting communal events like apple juicing and ‘long table’ meals. There will be workshops and a school performance by local primary school students. Beneficiaries: Various scout groups and leaders, librarians and schools; in general the residents of Malmesbury, Wiltshire.
