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.
June – the dizzying dream of Midsummer
Mid summer has arrived, bringing endlessly long days, that stretch into the balmy night air.
Ednovean’s garden’s characteristic combination of formal topiary, sub tropical palms and grasses are now combined with wild flowers to herald the summer days.
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!
Wintering! Living with the seasons
We’re wintering at Ednovean Farm at the moment. Quietly navigating the passage through the winter days in slow living. These days spent finding a comfortable joy in the small changes that mark the seasons – perhaps perfectly described as Wintering.
A year in The Ednovean Farm Gardens
To spend a year in the Gardens of Ednovean Farm is to take a journey through the seasons. Each year it’ll be an infinitely changeable journey of course. However, ultimately that will be the reward in itself.
The silence of a summer’s day
There’s a deep silence that can only fall as the summers warmth cocoons a Sunday afternoon. A certain contentment, that only falls as the summer garden reaches its’ zenith.
April and May
As spring turns into Summer here in west Cornwall I’ve suddenly I realised that whilst I rush to tell you of the merest dalliance with a winter snowflake , somehow I totally neglect the arrival of hot sunny days.
Changing the seasons to winter and light
Here at Ednovean we’re settling down to the shorter days as we speed towards the Winter Equinox. There’s a definite change to the seasons now and winter beckons with opens arms.
