What if … Brill had a community orchard?

Paid for, planted, and cared for by the community - and open for anyone to pick fruit, or just enjoy a quiet and beautiful space. Obvious health benefits and great educational potential for adults and children; wildlife watching, horticultural skills, jam making. But why stop there?! What about cider pressing and beekeeping? Or winemaking? (There are vines growing on Brill allotments!)

Read all about it in this handy government guide (pdf opens in new tab). Adstock, a North Bucks village, is one of many inspiring examples (opens in new tab) - and we understand our near neighbours Quainton have Plans (opens in new tab).
