Welcome to Grow Fruit Trees

Heatwave Update

With the current heatwave bringing exceptionally high temperatures, we'll be making a few temporary changes to our working hours to help keep our team safe while working in the nursery, particularly in our glasshouses and polytunnels.

At times like these, our priority has to be keeping both our trees and our team well watered and hydrated. As a result, we may be spending more time out in the nursery and a little less time at our desks.

This means that responses to emails and telephone enquiries may take a little longer than usual, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We really appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please also note that we will be closing at 1:00pm each day while these exceptionally hot conditions continue.

Thank you for your support as we work to care for our trees, our customers, and our team during the heatwave.

The Grow Fruit Trees Team

Conserving Britain's Fruit Tree Heritage. Growing a Greener Future.

We are Grow Fruit Trees - a passionate, family-run fruit tree nursery based in the heart of Kent. For nearly 20 years, we've been dedicated to conserving Britain's rare and heritage fruit tree varieties and bringing them back to life in gardens, schools, and communities across the country.

Our mission is simple but powerful:

To get Britain GROWing again - creating a healthier planet, supporting biodiversity, and reconnecting people with nature, food, and the seasons.

The Complete Starter Orchard

Our Complete Starter Orchard includes expert consultation, hand-selected fruit trees, stakes, ties, spiral rabbit guards, Rootgrow, bark mulch and a personalised planting guide. We'll choose suitable varieties based on your garden, soil and growing goals, giving you the confidence to create a successful orchard from day one.

Did You Know?

The National Fruit Collection was originally ordered by King Henry VIII! Located at Brogdale in Kent, it's now one of the most important living fruit archives in the world.
We use carefully selected graft wood from this collection to replicate rare trees exactly - keeping their stories, genetics, and flavours alive for generations to come.

Let's Grow Something Amazing Together

Fruit Trees for Schools

From Grow Fruit Trees – To Grown in Harmony CIC

For many years, Grow Fruit Trees has worked with schools and community groups to provide heritage fruit trees across Kent and beyond.

In 2026, this work became part of Grown in Harmony CIC, allowing us to expand our impact, improve governance and create more opportunities for schools, communities and corporate partners to get involved.

All school registrations, sponsorship opportunities and programme enquiries are now managed through Grown in Harmony CIC.
