Located on the Isle of Wight, the gardens at Afton Park incorporate a popular farm shop, cafe, plant nursery, wildflower meadow and apple orchard.

Our Farm Shop offers fresh meat delivered every Friday from Afton's farm located at Bathingbourne on the East side of the Island. See our farm www.rarebreeds.net .Also vegetables, whole foods, preserves, cheeses and many other artisan foods.

The newly designed and planted gardens sit in an area of outstanding natural beauty, beneath the chalk downs close to Freshwater Bay, at the western end of the Isle of Wight. As well as the gardens a wildflower meadow is being developed on this beautiful seven acre site.

There are planted borders, a cottage garden (which is also the tea garden for our Apple Tree Cafe), a Summer Garden, a gravel garden and numerous other plantings around the site. This allows our plant nursery customers to see how the plants we sell might be used.

The Orchard is another aspect of what we do. We have 150 apple trees, mainly Cox and Bramley, which we tend and harvest for juice and chutneys.

Finally the Apple Tree Cafe, which opens all year round, serves soups, stews, casserol's etc, made on site from scratch also cream teas and cakes . The cafe also specialises in wheat and gluten free Cakes & Soups.

Stay in an eco friendly Yurt amongst the apple trees at Afton Park
