Thursday 3 April Perry Orchard Centre Hartpury Tour and Tea and cake.

The outing is to the National Perry Pear Centre at Hartpury on Thursday 3 April at 2.30pm.

The orchards in Blackwell’s End Hartpury contain the National Perry Pear collection – at least two examples of most known varieties of perry pear, whether they will actually have them at
this time of year we will have to wait and see. There will also be a collection of Gloucestershire apples, plums and cherries all planted by Hartpury Heritage Trust since 2006. The orchards
cover 30 acres but you don’t have to walk round all of them and the Blossom will hopefully be at its best. We will have a talk in the centre, a short walk round the orchard and finishing with tea and cake.

The cost is £10 for members and £12 for non-members. You will need to make your own way to the Centre at Blackwell’s End, Hartpury about 2 miles north of Gloucester, where there is plenty of parking.
