Thank you to Ed Heigham keeping Tollesbury Christmas ‘rubbish’ loved.

We are so pleased to announce that we now have two benches at The Community Orchard for you to use.

TCP held 7 small scale juicing sessions between August and November so that excess windfall apples and pears that couldn’t be eaten were pressed into delicious juice before they rotted on the ground or in storage.

Saving and swapping seeds has been a way for us to preserve and keep alive local and heritage varieties of flowers, herbs and vegetables for centuries.

Over a tonne of recyclables (batteries, light bulbs, soft plastics, bras, water filters etc etc) have been diverted from our black bags, in 16 months.

Tollesbury residents enjoyed a guided walk of the Wick on Tuesday 7th October.

If you and your friends can’t eat all your apples, plums and pears we can help turn them into delicious fruit juice. ..and don’t forget your windfalls, we can always chop out the rotten bits and use the rest. This year TCP are offering Community Fruit Juicing at The Centre

After months of meticulous planning we were ready for the grand opening at 10am on Saturday June 14th 2025.

A special highlight of the event was a performance by students from Tollesbury School, who shared poems inspired by the orchard.
