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

Historical Coincidence!

 I recently came across this photo:


The gentleman on the left used to live here at Pear Tree Cottage!! He was the Deputy Chief Constable of West Mercia Constabulary and signed my warrant card when I first joined up. Prior to amalgamtion, he was the Chief Constable of Worcester City Police.  He was well known for his love of green ink!! I can only boast a green finger!
