Baslow Jubilee Orchard
The idea for a Community Orchard in Baslow arose from a Parish Council meeting in March 2012 and was enthusiastically supported by a group of volunteers from the village.
The intention was to create an attractive area for use by people of all ages from across the village and, at the same time, produce a lasting memorial of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
