Community Orchards


We can work directly with neighborhood organizations to provide tools, leverage funds, recruit volunteers, and education to install and maintain community orchards. We have helped other groups determine planting locations, procure fruit trees, and provide training on fruit tree maintenance and management.
Currently, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks' Community Orchard program is tied to our mini-grant program. If you are interested in establishing or caring for an orchard on publicly accessible property, please consider submitting a mini-grant application.
