The Drygrange Community Orchard and Allotments, located in the Scottish Borders, is a collaborative space where locals come together to grow fruit, vegetables, and wildflowers. This community-run initiative offers over 17 individual allotment plots alongside a communal orchard filled with a variety of fruit trees and bushes. The space encourages sustainable food production, biodiversity, and active community involvement.
Throughout the year, volunteers maintain the orchard with seasonal pruning and meadow care, while plot holders cultivate their own produce. The site also includes a polycrub for extended growing seasons and a wildflower meadow, enhancing both productivity and ecological diversity. Regular “Help Out” days and social events foster a strong sense of community, allowing residents to work together and share knowledge, tools, and harvests.
The Drygrange Orchard and Allotments not only provide a space for sustainable local food production but also serve as a hub for community connection, environmental stewardship, and learning. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, it’s a welcoming place to grow, learn, and contribute.
