Digby Road
Finally planted in April 2013 after our first attempt was thwarted by an Easter snowstorm!
Our smallest orchard of only 12 trees, all bar one donated by Waitrose, whose main Newbury store is just 100m away on the A4. We hear it's a popular lunchtime walk for staff there to see the trees.
200m in the opposite direction is a petrol station, site of Miller's Nursery from the 1840's. Home of the Miller's Seedling apple, we were proud and honoured to re-plant this variety at the Digby Road orchard.

3 more trees were planted on 2022 as part of a local company's Earth Day celebration.
