We are a young organisation born in August 2014 with the intention that one day locals can harvest, cook with shared recipes and then eat produce from the fruit trees they planted with their own hands. Our site is in the heart of White Gum Valley, Fremantle, adjacent to Hazel Orme Kindergarten.
In 2024 we are celebrating 10 years onsite and all our orchard in the ground and starting to produce delicious harvests. We will be negotiating another 5 year licence with City of Fremantle.

In our 3rd summer on site we are now harvesting bananas and figs
It has taken a while for the many hands of Cavendish bananas to ripen but they are finally turning yellow as the summer wears on and tasting good. We also have a small crop of figs on our Blue Jenny fig. We have a policy of if you give a little to the Orchard, then feel free to enjoy its fruits as they ripen. If you’re not a member yet, sign up here or on our mailing list for busy bees and other events, email us.
Summer Fiesta sets the Orchard alive-Nov
A successful partnership between the orchard and Hazel Orme Kindergarten saw the Orchard buzzing with live music, whip cracking entertainment, fire truck visit, a nature mosaic and a great turnip of locals.
We’ve turned 3 (Oct-2017) & celebrated the completion of our art project
In addition to our new banner, the shed shutters and doors adorned with artwork. We celebrated over a delicious sweets table in the shade of the banana grove and then got into some watering, weeding, pruning and understory planting.
