Cistern Green Community Wildlife Garden and Orchard

The Cistern Green in Errol is a haven for wildlife and a tranquil spot for visitors. A wee tranquil spot to enjoy a wee moment to yerself!

The Cistern Green Wildlife Garden and Community Orchard is managed by Friends of Cistern Green, part of Take a Pride in Errol. Work first started on the site in 2004 and in 2012 further funding was found to extend the paths and plant a 40 tree orchard of apples, pears and gages. It is located at the bottom of Gas Brae, as the road turns into a footpath down towards the River Tay. More recent work

has involved planting hundreds of native spring bulbs and various native climbing plants to increase food for pollinating insects, also 50 native trees have been planted and we are encouraging wildflower meadow areas by seeding and vegetation management. Anyone wanting to get involved please get in touch, there are a wide variety of tasks in the garden through the year to suit all wants and abilities :-)

Hmm, damaged apple tree by the path to Cistern Green and loads of randomly scattered concrete blocks and bricks, signs of a large vehicle by the track marks which probably broke the tree!! Not sure what's been going on 😲🤷‍♀️

Great news!! 😊

Today the community finally became the proud owner of our heritage orchard! It has taken more than 5 years to achieve but we are now in a position to restore, develop and prevent further deterioration of the orchard that has been abandoned for so many years.
After some initial clearance work of bramble thickets with a brush cutter before birds start nesting allowing access by a fruit tree expert to assess the existing trees, we will then be seeking community involvement in the project.
This really is a momentous day for the small village of Ballindean as our community company is the very first in the whole of Scotland to complete a community purchase using Part 5 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016- being a purchase to further sustainable development.
