Metford Road Community Orchard is a small organic orchard based on permaculture principles. It will be open on Saturday 17th June, 12noon – 5pm, as part of North Bristol Get Growing Summer Open Days.
With a stream at the bottom and numerous ponds, the orchard is teeming with wildlife in the summer. It has a compost loo and custom built gazebo-style oak shelter. There will be guided tours, tea and biscuits/cakes, produce and plant sales. Access is through the gate by no 37 Metford Road, Redland BS6 7LA. Turn left at allotments to reach the orchard. As the site is on a steep slope sturdy shoes are required.
