Reckless Orchard
|
|
We are a small landscape architecture practice with a special interest in promoting and encouraging traditional orchards. We work with schools, community groups and voluntary sector organisations as well as commercial clients to increase awareness of the wildlife and biodivesity advantages of retaining and preserving old fruit varieties. We built an award winning straw bale walled orchard garden at Westonbirt Arboretum with the help of Common Ground and the Brogdale Trust (home of the national fruit collection) to highlight this issue. We work all over the south west and are based just north of Bristol and also in the Wye Valley where the Reckless Orchard once existed.
