Mapping our orchards

Published: 23 February 2017

One of our organic orchards has been labelled and mapped, thanks to the efforts of one of our volunteers.

Peter Simon is a 2D game artist and illustrative designer and he helped translate a fast-fading, pencil-drawn map of our orchards into something much more legible (and lovely).

He also designed up some labels to identify the apple, pear, plum and medlar trees - which have some wonderful names like Doll's Eye, English Codlin, Sops in Wine, Vicar of Winkfield and Hendre Huffcap.
