It seems that discussions about a Community Orchard have been going on for several years, I first heard them in Ham United Groups (HUG) meetings, and I am glad to see that it is finally taking shape with the planting of a dozen trees.
The location is the open space on Riverside Drive as it joins Ham Street, with the allotments behind it.
The trees are quite small at the moment, and you almost have to stand on them to see them, but they will grow and new trees are always very welcome.
The Community Orchard is being planted in memory of one of the early proponents of the scheme, the late Andrew Beedham.
