Welcome to the Orchard

 

A community green space in the heart of Jesmond

Jesmond Community Orchard, nestled at the back of St Andrew’s cemetery, provides publicly accessible green space for residents and visitors.

The Orchard is a home to urban wildlife, a venue for communal events, and a sanctuary for quiet solitude, all while providing locally grown food for the community.

Visit the Orchard at any time when the cemetery is open, and keep an eye out for events happening at the Orchard.
