Profile

Situated in the London Borough of Merton, the ethos of the orchard is to collect together in one place examples of each variety of apple, pear, plum and cherry bearing the "Merton" or "John Innes" name. Planting started in 2010 and continues as we rediscover and acquire new or lost varieties. Opening twice a year to allow interested persons to view the trees, taste the fruit and see the Bees.
