On Saturday January 27th, Climate Action Caerffili and Keep Wales Tidy collaborated with the Ukrainians in Caerphilly group to plant an orchard to thank the Caerphilly community for its support since 2022. Local Caerphilly residents, along with local politicians, were invited to plant apple, pear and cherry trees in the park to create the orchard. Yulia Bond, one of the main organisers said that planting the orchard showed their gratitude to Wales and the people in Wales who "opened their homes and their hearts to Ukrainians".​
