Autumn and Apple Day at Hill Close Gardens Featured
Autumn and Apple Day will bring visitors to see the historic apple collection Since 1856 apples, pears and plums were known to have been grown in the Gardens as well as soft fruit.
Now there are more than 60 different varieties in the Gardens. By the 1990s, the trees were totally overgrown with swags of ivy and brambles. Noreen Jardine, assisted by Geoff Croft and many volunteers, started a programme of clearing and restoring these trees to bring them back to growth and fruit bearing.
Apple tasting and sales. Craft stalls, bee keeping, competitions and children's activities. Hot lunches and teas, sales of plants, produce and gifts.
