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

Busy BUSY BUSY!!


Getting everything ready for our forst NGS Open Day meant just no time for blog posts.  BUT - what a day it was!!!  We welcomed over 100 visitors in the first 50 minutes.  We overcame all kinds of hiccups from electrical problems which meant that urns were tripping out.  We ran out of change.  Then to top it all, the drain beneath the kitchen sink window became blocked!!  With our many supporters and helpers all were over come.  The weather cooperated despite dire forecasts and the womderful clarinettists from Barrels and Bells played for 2 hours in glorious warm sunshine,  It was the most unexpected successful day.  Even the Wisterias looked fabulous. 

An enormous thank you to every single person who helped in any way.  You all deserve a mention - Pat and Brian Finch especially for lugging so much furniture around the county and making so many exquisitely delicious cakes and sausage rolls ALL of which sold out!
