The event will be opened by Phillip Hygate, the chair of Tamar Valley Natural Landscape whose organisation has contributed towards some of the costs to refurbish the ancient orchard.

The orchard dates back to the eighteenth century and its 54 trees depict a variety of local varieties with a remarkable display of blossoms to admire during the spring.

Bere Ferrers Orchard has now been taken on by the Tavy and Tamar Apple Group as a community asset after a ceremonial signing by Bere Ferrers Parish Council chair (L) Richard Leithall and Graham Reed of the group.
