The asparagus is back! It's a brief appearance - here now and then gone in merely 8 weeks - but a vegetable that sings Spring... This is reason enough to celebrate it on the menu of our next Dining Club on May 17th!

Another date for your calendar is April 27th for the next Wild Food Walk with our ethnobotanist Claudio Bincoletto. Foraging for St George’s Mushrooms and other wild food delights in the
woodland, grounds and gardens and turned into a delicious lunch.

Our North American cousins celebrate Groundhog Day on the 2nd February, a Pennsylvanian Dutch superstition. If the groundhog emerges from its burrow and can see its own shadow then winter will continue for 6 weeks. We had bright sunshine here today and long shadows so perhaps the cold spell will continue…

Whatever the groundhog decides, we like to think we are halfway to Spring!

Our newsletter has gone out to subscribers this afternoon - we’ll share more on here soon. For now, two dates for your calendar - our next Dining Club: dinner on Saturday 9th March and Lunch on Mothering Sunday 10th March. Booking via link in bio.

As Earth Day has drawn to a close let’s celebrate this year’s moto “Invest in our planet”!
We have tried our hardest to avoid disrupting the natural balance of this small corner of the planet we are lucky to look after. We celebrate our local producers and suppliers, always strive to use less plastics, more eco friendly household products and of course invest in our local ecosystem. In the last 10 years by avoiding using any artificial pesticides or herbicides we have seen the biodiversity of the gardens massively increase. This natural harmony ultimately results in healthier plants, which are impacted less by pests and are tastier and more nutritious for us as a result 😁. And today a lovely surprise to be mentioned by in a special Earthday column for !

We love our honey but don’t forget the bees! In the walled garden we leave our winter crops to flower, making sure our bees have lots of forage - in return they produce some seriously tasty honey. Really that’s just a tasty byproduct - bees have an essential pollination job at this time of year - and as much as we can do to create friendly habitats the better!
