We’re fortunate to have inherited a vast array of fruit trees and canes, which means we have some gloriously mature and productive sources of top and soft fruit. Inevitably, some of these have begun to reach the end of their productive lives, so we have set in motion a replacement programme with the emphasis on flavour and, where possible, prolific cropping.

Apples (see right for the identified varieties)
Brambles (or blackberries)
Damsons
Figs
Gooseberries
Melons
Mulberries
Pears
Plums
Raspberries
Rhubarb

To find out what's in season, give the gardens a call or, better still, come and see what we're up to!

So far, we have managed to identify approximately 35 varieties of apple in the garden, which are listed below:
