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

New King!


We have a new KING of Compost!!  Andrew has done an amazing job of sorting old from new!  Our two compost bays were in chaos with new on top of old and newest on top of oldest.  He patiently moved new across to new to make the old accessible then carted it around the garden to neatly mulch borders.  Not a spec was dropped anywhere in the garden and not a tyre mark did he leave! 

                            



 Having done all that, he patiently forked the new off the top of the one bay into the bottom of the bay now in use leaving the right bay silently turn into beautiful useable mulch next season!  Well done and thank you Andrew!
