Milton’s Mulberry Tree is found in the Fellows’ Garden. It is unlikely that alumnus and poet John Milton actually planted the tree, as some have claimed, but it has certainly been a valued part of the College landscape for a long time.

The tree is the subject of a short film - 'Milton's Mulberry' - by Waterview Productions which is selected for inclusion in the HISTORY International Film Festival Austria and will be available to view online as part of that festival in October.

The Fellows’ Garden is open Monday to Friday 9:00 to 12:00 apart from at Christmas and during Quiet Period (May to June)
