Material Change compost used for Michelin Star fruit!

Owned by one of the most successful celebrity chefs, Raymond Blanc, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, which lies in the Oxfordshire village of Great Milton, was awarded two Michelin Stars in 1985, and has held them ever since.

It has been the job of Head Gardener Anne Marie Owens to make Raymond’s 20 year fruit dream a reality. Over the last year, some of the most unusual British species of fruit trees were planted using Material Change compost, in Le Manoir’s very own Orchard.

Anne Marie told us ‘We are pleased to use Material Change’s 10mm screened green waste compost; it is easy to handle and our apple trees have benefited with it as a mulch to conserve water and reduce weed growth’.
