Pauper Picking
How does our garden grow? Come and chat to our garden volunteers, explore our produce and take home some of the delicious fresh harvest.
- Booking not needed

Take time to explore the kitchen garden and sample its harvest. Chat to our volunteer gardeners, dressed in costume as paupers, to learn about what we grow, how we grow it and historically what would have been grown in the garden.
Pick up some useful gardening tips and recipes and take home freshly picked produce for a donation.
Every donation helps support the care of the property.
