Or Knollmead Group Allotment and Orchard:

is a community orchard and group allotment since 1992, we harvest from trees planted in the past, and plant for the future. An acre of fruit, nuts, shrubs and bushes and veg arranged as natural woodland. We have two ponds, a polytunnel, tree nursery and we propagate apple trees for schools.  Produce is shared between participants.

All are welcome: contact us kingstonedibleforest@gmail.com for when we are there and join our Facebook group "Kingston Edible Forest"

Dogs on a lead please. Wear gardening clothes and stout footwear. If you are planning on helping, please bring a good pair of gardening gloves. There is drinking water and a compost loo on site. Bring food and drink.

The ground is uneven, there are tripping hazards, and it can be muddy. Note that Oak Processionary Moth is a hazard around West London, and it is on our site too. The caterpillar hairs cause a severe rash or even a shock reaction. Please use gloves to handles any branches and sadly, don’t let children climb the trees.
