Fruit and Vegetable Garden

Visitors of all ages enjoy the Fruit and Vegetable Garden, fascinated as much by the mouthwatering array of produce as by the variety of ways in which it is grown and displayed. The area is sheltered by stone walls facing south and west, which provide ideal conditions for peaches, nectarines and figs. Split-chestnut paling fences support trained fruit trees and climbing annuals such as squashes, as well as providing a permeable boundary that allows frost to drain away.
