Do you have a plot of land? If you would like to create an apple orchard for everyone, get in touch with the Living Neighbourhood team. Publicly accessible areas between houses, in backyards, possible orchards, school gardens or even places where roof gardens can be created are ideal - for at least five trees with plenty of space.

Do you want to plant? Living Neighbourhood is looking for planting professionals and those who want to become one. In partnerships and neighbourly cooperation, the aim is the continuous care and maintenance of the planted trees. The decisive factor is a binding commitment to prune the tree when it needs it, to water it regularly, to replant it if necessary, to harvest it and to utilise fallen fruits in a tasty way.
