    DID YOU KNOW

    Pineapples have a long history with The Alnwick Garden. Not only are they a universal symbol of hospitality but back in the 18th century, The Alnwick Garden was one of the first to produce this exotic fruit In England. In 1825 the 3rd Duke of Northumberland proudly took six beautiful specimens to Paris, to the coronation of the French King, Charles X. To honour this association, we have created the Percy Pineapple, a delicious plump teatime bake bursting with pineapple, cranberries and sultanas.
