In February 2017, following a grant from Tesco, the Iremonger’s Pond Association in cooperation with the Wilford Community Group and residents planted Wilford’s Community Orchard. In years since, the orchard has been extended with additional trees. The Orchard is comprised of a wide range of fruit and nut trees, kindly sponsored by members of the local community and planted by a team of volunteers.

The orchard includes a large variety of apple and pear trees including the Gasgoyne Scarlet Apple, Morgan Sweet Cider Apple, Tettenhall Dick Pear, Queen Caroline Apple, Vicar of Winkfield Pear and Dabinett Cider Apple. Other notable trees, amongst the wide range of crab apples, plums, cherries, mulberries, and nuts, is the Notts Medlar and the London Plane planted to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee on the 13th of March, 2022.

Welcome

#ThanksToYou

Without National Lottery Heritage funding, our Heritage Project would not have gone ahead – and without the players there would be no funding – so we would all like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who supports us in this way!
