Description
Located on the Isle of Wight, the 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, at the western end of the Isle of Wight. As well as the gardens a wildflower meadow is being developed on this beautiful seven acre site.
There are planted borders, a cottage garden (which is also the tea garden for the Apple Tree Cafe), a Summer Garden, a gravel garden and numerous other plantings around the site. This allows our plant nursery customers to see how the plants we sell might be used.
The Orchard is another aspect of what we do. We have 150 apple trees, mainly Cox and Bramley, which we tend and harvest and provide the focus for our annual Isle of Wight Apple Days Festival in September.
Finally the Apple Tree Cafe, which opened for Easter 2000, serves a vibrant mix of new and traditional foods. The cafe also specialises in wheat and gluten free foods and meals.
Open every day 10am to 5pm.
