Planning Your Orchard
At Grow Fruit Trees, we understand that planting an orchard is a significant investment of your time, money, and aspirations — and it needs to be right for you. Whether you're dreaming of a family orchard to enhance self-sufficiency, a productive space to generate a secondary income, or a living legacy for future generations, every orchard should be as unique as its owner.
A Bespoke Orchard Planning Service
Our experienced team offers a full orchard planning service tailored to your specific site, goals, and preferences. We’ll guide you through every stage — from selecting the most appropriate fruit tree varieties to suit your soil, space, and needs, through to installation and ongoing care.
We offer:
- On-site visits for projects within our local area
- Remote planning services for clients further afield, using detailed site assessments and consultations
- Comprehensive orchard design and planning, including layout, variety selection, planting schemes, and long-term care strategies
With nearly 20 years of expertise and a close working relationship with the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, Kent, we can provide access to an unparalleled selection of rare and heritage fruit varieties. All our trees are hand-grafted by our skilled team, ensuring each orchard is truly one-of-a-kind and deeply rooted in Britain’s rich fruit-growing heritage.
Why Plant an Orchard?
By planting an orchard, you're doing much more than simply growing fruit. You're investing in a thriving ecosystem, a source of beauty and biodiversity, and a space that nurtures wellbeing and community.
The benefits of planting an orchard include:
- Supporting local biodiversity and native pollinators
- Creating habitat for birds, insects, and other wildlife
- Reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to climate resilience
- Providing fresh, seasonal, and nutritious food
- Creating a potential secondary income stream through produce sales, experiences, or value-added products
- Contributing to improved mental and physical wellbeing, with time spent outdoors proven to reduce stress and enhance overall health
- Preserving heritage fruit varieties that might otherwise be lost
- Increasing property and landscape value with a long-term, sustainable asset
