April has succumbed to the full awakening of spring despite the best efforts of the fickle weather.

My February Garden diary
As February gives way to March the month which brings with it the official meteorological first day of spring, the sunshine still conceals a chill in the air. And yet the garden is leaping into life around me, with bulbs emerging throughout the garden, each flower bringing bright splashes of colour to our lives after […]
January and time to plan the garden year
January is a great month to take stock of the garden and plan the direction of the garden year and this year we’ve started work quite early. The mild winter has brought the new spring growth so far forward that now is the time to start, although I must admit I step gingerly on to […]

Ednovean Farm’s garden in August
This month I’ve tried to capture a little of the atmosphere of the living breathing garden as it progresses through the seasons. So for my final garden diary for August I’ve explored the different garden areas of Ednovean Farm. From the sheltered formal courtyards to the sweeping lawns; from the pathways that weave their way […]
The August garden – A window into summer
The August garden at Ednovean Farm is a window into a summer’s day this month, unfolding gently chapter by chapter with each day that has dawned. This month I’ve watched the dancing sunlight on the foliage and felt the warm sultry shadows of mid summer. This month the garden has seen the whole unpredictable yet […]
