An abundance of autumnal apples
22nd September 2016
The orchards and gardens of Cotswolds are full of different apple varieties and at this time of year they are just waiting to be picked and eaten. Come and celebrate these delicious fruits at one of the apple events going on in the Cotswolds this autumn.
The word harvest comes from the Anglo-Saxon word haerfest meaning autumn, and now is the perfect time to enjoy some of our wonderful seasonal fruits. Read more about the humble apple and other fruits from The Cookery School at Thyme, where you can learn to cook with locally grown, seasonal produce.

See the original Bramley apple tree at Batsford Arboretum
Batsford Arboretum have recently taken delivery of a Bramley Original tree, propagated from the original Bramley apple tree grown in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. The original Bramley tree is under threat from a fungal infection so clones have been taken to preserve the iconic English apples. The ‘Bramley Original’ will be planted in the Arboretum this autumn.
