Posted on 25/02/2017 09:28 by SteveLNot the early sort, but Clumber Park walled kitchen garden, in mid May, is the place to go if you like rhubarb. Living close by we often call in to pick some up in season.
Rhubarb and apples grown in the Walled Kitchen Garden have been awarded National Plant Collection status by plant conservation charity, Plant Heritage.
They usually have various old and odd varieties for sale, as well as plants. Particularly like Victoria, named after the Queen, also Albert named her husband. We bought a Victoria plant, which we got a small crop off last year. Hopefully more this. They also have a Rhubarb festival with tastings, lots on the history, musical rhubarb and folk wandering about in Victorian costume. A great day out for both young and old.

We had a stroll round when we stayed at Clumber, we were impressed by all the varieties. The different rhubarb colours were lovely. Hope your purchases do well!
Our latest purchase for our garden is a Wellington Bloomer apple tree, which OH had been searching for last year.
Strolling round gardens is very relaxing, we're lucky to have so many places to visit in the UK.

Those that use CC do so because it provides what they like. The name change will not alter that. Hopefully prospective members who google 'Caravan Club' will still get a suitable result?
It does wazz me off a little that the club pretends to be member centric when there communication with the membership is P poor
