Landulph Orchard Green

Introduction

In 2022, two fields near Landulph Church were made available by the Duchy of Cornwall via the tenant farmers, the Best family at Marsh Farm, for a Community Orchard.
A grant from Farming in Protected Landscapes (FIPL) was received for 60 trees and fencing of the site. Following a public consultation in early 2023, a working group of Landulph Parish Council was set up to manage the project. The Working Group reports to the Parish Council on a monthly basis with recommendations for approval by the Parish Council. These reports can be viewed on the Working Group page of the Parish Council website.
In May 2023, an online survey was conducted. Although there were only 21 responses, there were many suggestions about the ambience of the fields and the things should be included. See link below for results of survey.

Duke Orchard

The first field above the church, Duke Orchard (///harmless.tanked.proved), is primarily an orchard containing about 60 apple, pear, plum, cherry, damson and nut trees. Planting was completed in March 2024 and in time we hope it will look like this. There is a firm path from Church Lane to a picnic area with seating and a lovely view of the church. The grass between the trees will be left long in summer to encourage wild flowers to grow but with mown paths between the trees and additional seating areas.
The official opening was on 27 April 2024.
