Deardon Orchard & Field
Deardon Orchard and field are maintained by Shinfield Parish Council with the help of Freely Fruity.
There are many fruit trees and brambles for the public to enjoy.
We installed picnic benches back in 2021.
This is a community space for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you to Freely Fruity & DOE students for their recent efforts helping the orchard stay healthy. (26.04.26).

Sadly, one of the original trees planted had perished and we needed to remove it for safety reasons. Nothing is wasted though, the branches will be used as a dead hedge as part of our show garden at the Royal Windsor Flower Show‘.
Shinfield Parish Council would like to say thank you to all involved, we really do appreciate the time and effort keeping the orchard healthy.
