Saxmundham Community Orchard
The Community Orchard is located at the far end of the Memorial Field on Rendham Road. It was planted by Greener Sax and is now maintained by our Green Team. As well as areas of native hedging, grasses and wildflower, the Community Orchard boasts 56 fruit trees. The public are welcome to help themselves to the fruit when it is in season. The area is popular with walkers and wildlife alike.
