Adopt a fruit tree through a neighbourhood orchard programme

Sponsor a tree your block can harvest together

Vergers Urbains and similar programmes let households adopt trees in shared orchards: you help fund planting or care, and the neighbourhood shares the fruit at harvest.

What you can do

• Check adoption options and orchard maps on Vergers Urbains
• Gather neighbours in Lyon to co-adopt a row and split watering shifts
• Label your adopted tree on a public map so passers-by know they can ask before picking

How it works

Adopters pay a modest annual fee or volunteer hours. Orchard teams handle grafting, disease checks, and harvest days open to nearby residents.

Why it matters

Tree adoption spreads care across many hands so one expert gardener is not the bottleneck.
