Jesmond Community Orchard

Jesmond Community Orchard (JCO) has been in existence since 2009 with a website of about the same age!

Jesmond Community Orchard provides opportunities for growing fruit for the benefit of the general community and fosters community spirit by encouraging local residents to become involved in planning, preparation, planting, cultivation and harvesting of local fruit. Through events and activities it builds up an interest in local food growing, and care for the environment.

Coming to Big Purple Box following a recommendation from a current client, we were delighted to help bring this important community resource to a wider audience. The site was completely redesigned and brought up to date.
