The garden was brought back to order during the winter of 2003 when Allison Wragg took over as garden manager. Allison trained at Pershore college and joined “The Talbot” after working at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire.

The regeneration of the garden here at The Talbot consisted of a complete re-landscape

and long narrow raised beds form a neat backdrop for us to grow quality produce for

use daily in the professional kitchen. As an aid to extend seasons and ensure salads all year

round the garden has two polytunnels and a large glasshouse which is used to raise strong transplants of vegetables.

Varieties are selected to suit the site and soil as well as, of course, taste. The vegetables and

herbs grown here are as fresh as they can possibly be, so they lose no quality as they pass

from garden fork to table fork.

Allison had to leave us, however her legacy and ethos are being continued by Steve and Alyson Turner of 'Veggie Pots' who have taken over the management of the garden, and Josh who carries
out the day to day tasks of care, watering and general maintainence.

We hope you enjoy the fruits of their labours
