ORCHARDS AND FRUIT
A local website that gives loads of information about different fruit trees
Organisation for orchards and apples in Tamar and Tavy areas.
Orchards Live is an organisation like Orchard link but covers north Devon and Exmoor.
Common Ground is internationally recognised for playing a unique role in the arts and environmental fields, distinguished by the linking of nature with culture, focussing upon the positive investment people can make in their own localities, championing popular democratic involvement, and by inspiring celebration as a starting point for action to improve the quality of our everyday places. We offer ideas, information and inspiration through publications and projects such as the campaign for LOCAL DISTINCTIVENESS, Orchards and Community Orchards, Apple Day, Field Days, Parish Maps, Flora Britannica, Tree Dressing Day, and Confluence.
Website run by Common Ground with information about orchards, apples
Recently merged with the ‘All about apples’ website, this is another general source of information about apples – it includes an amazing register of apple trees where you can register details of all your trees, and views those from other orchards.
Anyone can join the Cider Workshop discussion group and ask questions or simply discuss real cider and perry (or as some of us prefer, craft cider and perry - there is no real difference). The cider workshop.com web resource is an easy reference for all cider lovers and as a storage space of ideas and expertise for the group.
