Tucked away in the south west corner of Image is a community orchard begun in 2014 using a mixture of existing trees and newly planted ones. An orchard was originally located here part of a nursery that occupied a field to the west of the cricket pitch. The nursery closed sometime in the 1970s and the land was acquired by the council as an extension to the recreation ground. Some of the trees remained but the area became overgrown until 2014 when locals decided to revive the orchard.
