East Dulwich quiz continued: where is the Urban Orchard?

[Muttley]

East Dulwich boasts the country's first Urban Orchard (well, that's what it says on the sign anyway). The public are welcome to pick apples come apple-pickin' time, but are discouraged from throwing them at the neighbouring houses! 2 points for anyone who can name its location.

[Loz]

I won't spoil the fun too much (cos I didn't know the answer myself), but Google can be your friend. Sometimes.

Melboune Grove - according to the Conservative Party local newsletter.

Jeez, Muttley - got your Cyrena Road quetion coz I used to walk there often, but this one has me stumped - it's not the place on Marsden Road, is it?

Macroban has it. It's on the corner of Melbourne Grove and Lytcott Grove. There's a 'piazza' in front of it. Should be quite a few apples in a month's time, enough for some East Dulwich apple pies (but there ought to be some self-imposed rationing of say 3 apples per household).

Macroban is the East Dulwich oracle.

OK so not East Dulwich, but where, in the vicinity is there a fruiting mulberry bush/tree?

[Vik]

Alas no:(

But as a child I 'scrumped' blackberries from graves in Camberwell Old Cemetary - Does this count?

Peckham Rye Park boasts a fruiting Mulberry Tree. Go through the main entrance, round the oval and head south. The Mulberry tree is on the left as you turn in towards the Japanese Garden. :))

I'll have to check that one out boosboss. The one I'm thinking about is in the garden of the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
