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

Reginald!



A word on Reginald!!  Reginald Robin fledged last spring and continues to be a loyal and fearless garden companion!  Even as a speckeldy baby, he displayed courage. You can see his adolescent plumage on last year's photos.

He is just EVERYWHERE all the time!  I'm almost frightened of treading on him.  I felt such a character deserves a post all to himself!




Reginald Robin
