Gardeners’ creativity transformed dozens of old apples into something shiny and new.

The mosaic uses a range of apples from red to green – with a bit of flair for the leaves on the stem.

Head gardener Dave Bouch told BBC Radio Cornwall that the grass circle in front of the mansion was the chosen location for the display.

“It takes about two days to create,” he said of the fruit-filled artwork.
Bouch explained that the group begins to draw the outline, then gradually fills it with apples based on the coloring of the fruit.

He explained that workers at the house then filled in the leaves at the top of the apple using “paler fruit.”
“It’s a little bit of fun, it’s a little bit of creativity,” he said.
Cotehele House has medieval roots with a large estate including a notable garden, according to the National Trust.
