It joins a further 47 fruit trees in the orchard, which is on Nantwich Riverside near Shrewbridge Road and is maintained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nantwichtowncouncil.gov.uk\/nib\/\">Nantwich in Bloom<\/a> volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>The tree was planted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/horticulture\/horticulture-apprenticeships\/\">Level 2 horticulture apprentices<\/a> Natasha Devine and John Bradburn under the guidance of Nantwich in Bloom Chair Sue Sherwood, Vice Chair Tom Deans and Master of Horticulture Harry Delaney, who between them have served a total of 85 years in the Nantwich college\u2019s horticultural department.<\/p>\n<p>Nantwich Community Orchard was established in 2008 to help preserve and maintain traditional fruit varieties and now has 29 apple varieties, three types of pear tree and three types of plum tree.\u00a0 Any passer-by can pick and sample the fruit during the harvesting period.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Deans, who began his Reaseheath career in the 1970s as a lecturer and progressed to become Head of Horticulture, said: \u201cIt is very fitting that Reaseheath\u2019s centenary gift is a \u2018Discovery\u2019 tree. The horticulture industry is a fast growing sector, particularly in the use of new technology for sustainable food production, and the college has set its sights on remaining at the forefront of research and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNantwich in Bloom is very grateful for the continued support of Reaseheath staff and students, which includes the specialised pruning of the fruit trees in Nantwich Community Orchard and the planting of the memorial flower bed in the town centre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natasha, who works for Gnomes Ltd, a Stockport based garden maintenance company, said: \u201cThis has been a highlight of my apprenticeship programme. I have really enjoyed learning about the varieties of trees in the community orchard and how best to plant and maintain them from industry experts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John, a trainee gardener in the Italian garden at Trentham Gardens, added: \u201c\u201cIt has been a great honour to plant a tree in honour of Reaseheath\u2019s 100th birthday. Hopefully it will bring pleasure to the local community for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on Nantwich\u2019s Community Orchard see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nantwichtowncouncil.gov.uk\/nantwich-orchard\/\">www.nantwichtowncouncil.gov.uk\/nantwich-orchard<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more on Reaseheath\u2019s centenary memories and celebrations see <a href=\"https:\/\/reaseheath100.com\/\">www.reaseheath100.com <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-video av-l151nv22-67c22647c5b7d19179c0dc5441aac767 avia-video-16-9 av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/youtu.be\/AlEkt9Vxdlc '><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Reaseheath College donates an apple tree to Nantwich&#039;s Community Orchard\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AlEkt9Vxdlc?feature=oembed&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&mute=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5kn5clr-3aec981b073706cee0269cba32f9826f\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-5kn5clr-3aec981b073706cee0269cba32f9826f{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5kn5clr-3aec981b073706cee0269cba32f9826f hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_video  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reaseheath College has donated a \u2018Discovery\u2019 apple tree to Nantwich\u2019s Community Orchard as part of its year-long centenary celebrations.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":115984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
