Apple Day 2010

Buckingham Garden Centre Celebrates The Apple with our annual
Apple Weekend Event on Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd October 2010.

Our Apple Weekend includes top fruit expert, Will Sibley, who will be on hand to give advice on all aspects of fruit growing.

You can bring along apple fruits for identification as The Mid-Shires Orchard Group specialists, Marcus Roberts and Andy Howard will be available to help identify your apple varieties (please bring 2-3 typical fruits and some foliage). There will be a display of apple varieties, including crab apples to view.

Top local cookery expert and author Alli Templeton will be demonstrating apple- themed dishes each day. We also have local representatives of wildlife charities too. To continue “The Good Life” feel to the event we are welcoming the Buckinghamshire Branch of the National Vegetable Society, and if you fancy keeping chickens then poultry expert Laura Donovan will be on-hand to offer practical advice.

Local alpaca breeder, Marcia Oakley will be bringing along a couple of alpacas and is happy to take questions on these amazing animals. Top local Dog Behaviourist Jim Mayor will be offering advice on training dogs. We’ll have a fun Apple Treasure Hunt for the kids, plus locally sourced produce from New Creation Farm, including a wide range of fruit, Honey, Juices and much, much more. Times: 10am-4pm each day.
