We had a very successful experiment with our green manures this year. Thanks to for the inspiration.

In the spring we sowed a clover based green manure mix into the established rye then flailed the rye. Despite the drought the clover stayed green all summer. The rye also grew back and has gone to seed.

We have just flailed the rye hoping the seeds will now germinate and grow over winter along with the already established clover.

This method has allowed for healthy green manure growth with very little cultivation!

We held the final summer pruning course of the season at the nursery yesterday. This was run in conjunction with North Wales and Borders WFGA. This was attended by professional gardeners all looking to expand their pruning knowledge. It’s great to see people taking notes and knowing what they have learnt here will be used in their work wfga_northwales_and_borders

The trees are growing well here at the nursery, despite the harsh drought conditions. We are watering regularly and the trees are well mulched which reduces the amount we need to irrigate.

We’re delighted to announce Keep Wales Tidy as our Charity of the Year for 2026-27!

Keep Wales Tidy is Wales’ leading environmental charity, working with communities across the country to protect and enhance the environment so it can be enjoyed by everyone.

As part of our partnership, we’ll be donating £1 for every Welsh variety apple tree sold throughout 2026-27, helping to support their vital work across Wales.

We’re also excited to be working with Keep Wales Tidy to develop a new range of Welsh-variety orchard tree packs, helping more people plant orchards, grow local fruit, and celebrate Wales’ rich apple heritage.

I am very pleased to be working with Keep Wales Tidy and spreading the joy and productivity of orchards around Wales.

Louise Tambini, Deputy Chief Executive of Keep Wales Tidy said: “On behalf of everyone at Keep Wales Tidy, I would like to sincerely thank Tom the Apple Man for choosing us as your Charity of the Year. We are incredibly grateful for your support of our work with communities, and for the commitment you have shown to helping protect and enhance the environment across Wales.”

We’ve been watering the trees that haven’t yet been mulched. Those that are mulched still have plenty of moisture. The green manures are looking amazing. Phacelia is so beautiful and loved by bees and hoverflies. Everything is growing so well. Lush!!!
