About Gilbert’s Garden: Fruit Picking Day

The heritage fruit trees in the orchards at Gilbert White’s House will be being picked as they were in the 18th century when Gilbert White wrote his ‘Garden Kalendar’ recording his daily gardening activities.

Meet the fruit picking team and see the heritage apple and pear trees planted according to his notes from the 1750s and 1760s.

Tickets: free with admission to the house
