Culpeper's Orchard, named after the English botanist, psychologist and astrologer Nicholas Culpeper (1616–1654), was a Danish progressive rock band from Copenhagen, formed in 1970. Led by the Englishman Cy Nicklin (vocals, guitar, percussion), together with Rodger Barker (drums, percussion) also from England and the two Danes Niels Henriksen (guitar, piano, vocals, harpsichord) and Michael Friis (bass, organ, flute, piano, percussion), they recorded their eponymous debut album at Wifos Studio in Copenhagen in 1971, with studio owner Philip Foss serving as sound engineer. It was released later that same year on the major label Polydor, featuring magnificent cover artwork that is just as colourful as their music.

Their music is characterised by a wide stylistic spectrum of complex and imaginative melodies with talented English vocals, ranging from late 1960s prog sounds and hard, bluesy progressive rock to psychedelic-tinged West Coast folk rock. Although the album was released in five countries worldwide, it received no international response at all. After three further albums, the quartet from Denmark called it a day in 1977. Today, this debut album ranks among the rarest Danish prog LPs and in the opinion of numerous music connoisseurs, is also regarded musically as one of the finest creations from this small Northern European country. And it is expensive, even as a high-quality German Polydor pressing.
