The Plant Nursery and Orchard
at Afton Park are located in the West Wight, on the
short bus circuit from Yarmouth to The Needles. The
seven acre gardens at Afton Park incorporate a popular
plant nursery, wildflower meadow and apple orchard
open to the public 7 days a week in season.
The newly designed and planted gardens
sit in an area of outstanding natural beauty, beneath
the chalk downs close to Freshwater Bay. There are
planted borders, a cottage garden, a Summer Garden,
a gravel garden and numerous other plantings around
the site.
The Apple Tree Cafe serves a vibrant
mix of new and traditional foods, and also specialises
in wheat and gluten free foods and meals. The Orchard
boasts 150 apple trees; mainly Cox and Bramley, which
when harvested provide the focus for the annual Isle
of Wight Apple Days Festival in September, as well
as producing the delicious Afton Park Apple Juice.
