Aim

Providing fruit trees helps schools teach nature, grow fresh food, boost wellbeing, and inspire children to care for their environment.

Who we are, and what our project is about.

Freely Fruity is a community‑driven horticultural charity based in Berkshire, dedicated to making fresh fruit accessible to everyone while empowering people through hands‑on growing. We transform unused spaces into thriving orchards, deliver inclusive horticulture programmes for schools, and help communities reconnect with nature in practical, joyful ways.

Our team combines horticultural expertise with a passion for education, wellbeing, and environmental stewardship. We work closely with schools, councils, and volunteers to create long‑lasting, community‑owned growing spaces that improve biodiversity and inspire young people to care for the planet.

This project directly supports Climate Action by planting fruit trees in schools, increasing local biodiversity, reducing food miles, and giving children the knowledge and confidence to grow food sustainably. It also strengthens environmental literacy—an essential foundation for long‑term climate resilience.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We’re raising money to provide fruit trees, tools, and hands‑on planting sessions for local schools. Many schools want to teach children about nature, food growing, and climate action, but lack the resources to get started. Your support will help us give young people meaningful outdoor learning experiences and create green spaces that benefit the whole community.

This funding will allow us to plant school orchards, run educational workshops, and ensure each site has the support it needs to thrive long‑term.

How we’ll spend the money raised

We believe in being open and transparent. Funding will go directly towards:

• Fruit trees and pollinator‑friendly plants
• Soil, compost, mulch, and planting materials
• Tools and protective equipment for pupils
• Educational workshops and planting sessions
• Ongoing support to help schools care for their new orchards
