More than apple and pear
The garden has various kinds of fruit trees, including apples, pears, cherries and plums. Medlars and nuts are also mentioned. Pay attention to the differences between trees and read the labels; what you see in blossom or fruit depends on the season.
Tools for cultivation
The museum contains historical fruit-growing tools. These add to the living garden: the trees are not separate from the work connected with them. Ask what task a tool had and at what time of year it was used.
Weather and season are part of it
A garden visit depends on conditions. In bad weather, frost or extreme heat, closing may happen earlier. Groups of ten or more can arrange a guided tour; do this before you set off together.
Before you go
In unusual weather, check whether the garden stays open, and book a group tour in advance.
