Beyond the Blossom:
a survey of a traditional plum orchard on Knowle Hill in the Vale of Evesham

Filmed over the course of a full year, this video beautifully records the impact of the seasons on a traditional Vale orchard. With the loss of plum varieties and orchards disappearing, it chronicles our vanishing local traditions in an entertaining and informative way.
