This year’s heat wave has brought a twofold new appreciation of both the delicious prospect of visiting Perranuthnoe’s sandy beach to swim and the cool shady depths of the garden.

Seasons of summer
The dizzying May days as the Echiums shoot skyward almost overnight, to give a hint of the cypresses of Italy and lend new emphasises to the garden landscape.

The Ednovean Farm spring edit
Ednovean Farm has been slowly enjoying her spring edit for the year with a little tweak here and there; just as the season has woven its spell over the house and garden.
Hello Spring!
It’s time to say hello to spring and wave winter a not too sentimental goodbye. March brings the meteorological spring, which may be semi-detached from the spring equinox but it arrives first so I’ll take it!
Three faces of winter
The three faces of winter have shown their spirit this January. This month we’ve travelled from soft snow feathering through the gardens, to the fierce Storm Goretti that battered the country. Yet as we cleared the storm debris from the garden, spring was quietly arriving, with fresh new shoots and deliciously warm sunshine.
Farewell September
Farewell September. Each day has been cherished in your company. It always seems to me that September always brings a special peace in the garden, yet there’s still the delicious echo of summertime underneath clear blue skies.
Our Mediterranean Summer
Will be be talking about our Mediterranean summer for years to come? I think that maybe we will. The summer that our garden was made for arrived in Cornwall without an airport queue in sight.
What a spring we’ve had in Cornwall!
Throughout April and May, the glorious days of perfect blue skies have followed each other in a Mediterranean blur of loveliness. In fact it’s been one of the warmest sunniest springs for over a century.
A very Happy Easter to you
A very Happy Easter to you! Goodness – hardly feels any time at all since I wished you a Happy Christmas! The arrival of Easter so soon after Christmas, was something I always found puzzling as a child – although of course I coped with the Easter Eggs!
The dance of spring through the garden
The dance of spring is unfolding through the Ednovean Farm gardens these days. Anticipated for so long through the lengthening days, the eternal dance of the seasons, has brought the gardens back to life.
