Townsend Community Orchard was established in 2015 when a variety of fruit trees and soft fruit bushes were planted. The Orchard provides a wonderful space for villagers and nature alike, with residents welcome to pick some of the fruit for free. It also features a small seating area for outdoor gatherings where events such as plays and music performances take place.
