English Blossom – Japanese Food
May 1st, 2023,12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us under the Orchard blossoms for your family picnics. This special weekend, we have authentic Japanese food to order too.
In Japan they call it ‘Hanami ‘, each spring families flock outdoors to picnic under the pink blossoms of plum trees. Here, we have our own ‘English Hanami’; under the apple trees.
Our two heritage apple and pear orchards are just the place for an early Spring picnic. The frothy white blossom flowers truly lift the soul.
