Fruit and Espalier
As you stroll through the fruit, grape, and berry patches situated throughout the garden, you will find many ideas to add interest and beauty to any garden or small orchard. You'll be amazed at the large variety of plants and trees in the orchard which will surely tantalize your taste buds and excite your imagination. The pride and joy of the orchard is the attractive espalier demonstration area (situated near the office) where apple trees are trained using four fascinating espalier designs. Enjoy and grow along with us!
