The green and rolling countryside of Worcestershire, England, is home to the cider apple orchards which surround the gardens of Pear Tree Cottage. They enjoy a sunny south westerly aspect with sweeping views across to Martley Hillside, Woodbury and Abberley clock tower. The Teme Valley lies just over the hill and, not far away, is the Herefordshire border. Although our climate is temperate, our seasons are often uncertain and always a challenge to a gardener! This began in 2010 & follows the weekly ups and downs of garden work chronicling both successes and failures but, above all, demonstrates the fun enjoyed by three people who regularly garden in all weathers

Harvesting our First Szechuan Peppercorns!
Chris wouldn't allow the first ever Szechuan peppercorn harvest to happen without photographic evidence!! They are now drying on the kitchen windowsill.
This extremely thorny shrub was planted about 2 years ago and was bought in a sale for £3 when it was about 18" tall. It not only recovered from its pot bound state but has thrived.
