Welcome to the Gloucestershire Orchard Group website. GOG is now a registered charity, the Gloucestershire Orchard Trust, No. 1137917. GOG was originally formed as an independent association in 2001. Its aims are still to conserve, promote and celebrate traditional orchards in the county of Gloucestershire in the west of England. Here you will find a vast amount of information on creating or restoring traditional orchards, Gloucestershire fruit varieties, Nurseries, events run by the Group and how to join. We hope you find the website useful, whatever your interest in orchards.

Heritage Apple Taste Test Results
These Taste Test results should assist in helping you decide which Gloucestershire apple trees to buy. You can also taste heritage apples at some Apple Day events and particularly at Stroud Farmers Market (first 3 Saturdays of the month) and Bristol Farmers Markets (every Wednesday) where Days Cottage/GOG Chairman Dave Kaspar is selling. GOG members also get invited to their very own Apple Day for tastings (tempted? see Membership page for joining GOG!)
Want to buy Gloucestershire fruit trees? Look no further than our extensive Nursery list on the Directories page here!
Thanks to our Juliet Bailey for compiling the Taste Test results.
