The quirky fruits of Autumn - # 280

The kitchen gardens are Ham House are tended by a team of gardeners and volunteers who strive to use the most eco-friendly and traditional methods to produce traditional crops for use in the Orangery Restaurant. Here, drenched in October sun, is a an amazingly colourful display in front of the old Orangery at Ham House.
