Growing for the Future

Woodhatch Community Orchard

Working Together

Woodhatch Green Spaces Preservation Group together with Reigate and Banstead Borough Council (landowners), Reigate Area Conservation Volunteers and Growing Health Together, have now established an orchard in the heart of the community of Woodhatch, at New Pond Farm, opposite Earlswood Lakes car park, and close to New Pond Farm allotments.

Access can also be gained via the paths from Felland Way and Lonesome Lane.

Our vision is for the Community Orchard to remain an easily accessible Public Open Space free for all to enjoy and benefit the local community.
