An abundance of Apricots!

When the sun comes out the greenhouse quickly heats up! Our thermometer said that it reached 37°c yesterday! These lovely warm temperatures have encouraged our Apricot trees to begin producing fruit, which is so exciting to see.

We can’t wait to taste this years harvest and make lots of delicious jams and sweet treats with them!

When you visit Dorset this summer, be sure to set aside a day to visit Athelhampton! You can taste our produce in the Coach House restaurant and spend time enjoying the beautiful formal gardens. You’ll find our Apricot trees in the Greenhouse within the walls of the Kitchen Garden.
