Apple Weekend, the Jonny Appleseed Trail

Over the centuries apple trees have been planted in profusion in the gardens so we have hundreds of apples to give away.
A FREE BAG OF APPLES FOR EVERY FAMILY All harvested from our own trees*

*The long drought and extreme heat have not been kind to our apple crop, unlike the abundance we enjoyed last year. What apples we do have will be given away on a first come, first served basis, while our harvest lasts.

The experts from Sparsholt College return to display their heritage apple collection and answer all questions about apple growing. For the children there is a Johnny Appleseed trail and quiz sheet to ‘identify’ apples and the tearoom has a menu filled with good apple-based dishes. Simon is operating the fresh apple juice press in the Green House, and this is a fine time to see the garden at its autumn best.

Normal garden conditions Adults £12 / Child £6
Free for RHS and NT members upon presentation of a valid membership card
