In the borderlands of North Shropshire and Wales, there is a remarkable story of revival and reconnection with Britain's horticultural heritage. Meet Tom, a modern-day guardian of a forgotten legacy – ancient apple trees that were once thought extinct. Sparked by a serendipitous discovery on a relative's farm, Tom's captivating journey weaves together history, nature and the future of sustainable agriculture.
Tom Adams’ seven-acre heritage fruit tree nursery is home to a diverse array of ancient fruit varieties – apples, pears, plums, cherries, damsons, medlar and quince. In addition, a newly established community interest company, Grow Weston Rhyn, headed byCompany has hives for honey production and pollination. An allotment provides seasonal vegetables for those who work on site.
