Welcome to Open Orchard! I really believe that if more of us were doing things we cared about locally, the world would be better and we’d be much happier. Open Orchard provides a way for people to come out, plant a fruit tree and in so doing connect with neighbours and care for the environment.”

Hi everyone, I started this page last year, and life & busyness took over. I am now ready to think about getting this off the ground this spring? Please email me: [email protected] and I shall start up a 'Slack' group if you are interesting in helping out. We could have a look at the Square this weekend if anyone around? Colm
Hi Open Orchard Rathmines people, I've been busy lately, and off on family hols next couple weeks. Would anyone like to meet up in mid-late August after peak holiday period? There is perhaps a will emerging for a Belgrave Square Forum. There have been quite a few observations sent to me, and a lot of interest in the general up-keep of the Square. I have also started Yoga in the Park on Saturdays 11am €5 for the summer with Yoga Dublin if anyone wishes to join in! Colm
Hi there, I have met with the Parks Superintendent, he is very supportive, and wishes as many people/parties/community organisations to be involved. The Parks might help out with paint - for the walls - check out Mountpleasant Square, Ranelagh? Also with some plants..he is suggesting to bear in mind low-maintenance, also suggested areas along the granite wall topped with hawthorn hedge facing toward playground. He would like some plans, including fruit trees, pollinators and some bug hotels? Could we get kids involved? Green schools? Anyone able to help with a design? Colm
