Eashing Cemetery Plum Planting and Community Garden Design

Godalming Town and Waverley Borough Councils engaged with COPSE to plant an orchard at Eashing Cemetery, with 60 fruit trees to be planted over a five-year period. The first 12 trees were planted (three cherry and nine plums) on 20th November, with over 50 local residents helping-out. The plans for a Community Garden were also unveiled by Thakeham Homes, inviting resident's feedback. The Orchard planting took place near the entrance, with a trail to be developed around the perimeter of the Cemetery starting and ending at the Garden. During January COPSE hopes to organise a guided walk around the Cemetery.
