Community orchards are great
A friend recently took me to Springfield Park community orchard in Hackney, London. What a great place! The gates are left unlocked, and anyone can pop in to tend the trees or pick apples. There are plenty of other community orchards around the country; try this Google search of all council and local Government websites for community orchards. There are plenty throughout the country.
Hacking down weeds and walking home with a bag of apples is a great way to get some fresh air. If you have children, they may just enjoy it too.
