Our very own Triangle Garden Apple Juice was launched at Apple Day today! Made from Triangle Garden apples plus donations from peoples' gardens locally, it comes in two flavours: fruity and dry. It's totally pure, from unsprayed trees, and pressed for us by Chiltern Ridge Farm, Chesham. It will keep till Christmas 2016!

From small things, big things one day come!

This year our Growing Ability Projects entered a Christmas tree into the Holy Saviour Christmas Tree Festival in Hitchin (12/13th December). There were 50 trees displayed around the beautiful church and the overall effect was spectacular. 

Our inspiration for this year’s entry was our own wonderful Triangle Garden mosaic which was created by community members under the guidance and support of Jane Visick, local mosaic artist.

Stock up on our delicious Apple Juice for your festivities!

We have a limited number of these beautiful and informative 'apple bibles' available for purchase. Please read Vicky Wyer's review on these wonderful books below:

My original copy of 'Apples a Field Guide' has been a well loved and well thumbed source of interest and information on all aspects of apples for me, since I bought it from the author Michael Clark around the time of the Triangle Garden's first Apple Day back in October 2003.
