Capel Quaker Orchard

Updated 7 January 2016

In April 2012, keen to demonstrate support for the Canterbury Commitment for Quakers to become a sustainable community, Capel Local Meeting organised a 'sustainability day' in the village. 'Capel goes green' and other 'green' groups in the area were invited, including members of Dorking community orchard project. During the day, the idea was born of using the large area of unused land in the grounds of Capel Meeting House to plant a community orchard.
