We are so excited to begin building a new seed classroom to grow our therapeutic horticulture work with children, young people and adults with additional needs!

Nestled in between our memorial garden and our poly-tunnels, it'll be a theraputic and practical space where we can deliver more gardening and growing sessions to more people.

We are halfway there with funding the classroom, and we're crowd funding the rest!
🌱
We've got some brilliant rewards, from our home-grown herbal teas to weekend stays in our yurts! Please help us to share this far and wide so we can carry on growing our work and reach more people!

I thought a seasonal #tbt to one of my favourite photos of Jonty and the sheep might be appropriate to let you all know that fresh lamb will be available for delivery tomorrow alongside our veg bag deliveries.
Joints, half joints, mince and chops are all available.

Our new Tamworth ladies have arrived! 🐖
These two beauties came to us from the lovely The Rugglestone inn. To join Spartacus this year! 🐽
A few months old (and very cute) we are looking forward to these ladies being Husbandry School residents for years to come.🐖
Currently nameless, we will pull names out of a hat for the pair once all our students have thrown their choices in the ring!
Any suggestions are always welcome, let us know! 🐷

We had a fantastic harvest of onions this year, getting fat and juicy with the added bowts of rain over summer and following by the perfect drying off/curing hot weather!
(honestly why no onion emoji's? Campaign for better veg emoji's anyone!)
Liam and Esme were proud growers when they pulled these beauties out of the mud!

Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?! 🥕🥕🥕
These rainbow beauties are a summer staple and store well into the colder months.
Love em!

We spent a gorgeously hot day last week braiding up chains of our beautiful garlic harvest!
These braided beauties went into our veg bags last week as well as down to Ashburton Craftmongers to sit perfectly alongside some of their newly found French treasures! 🥐

The rest of our garlic now will be heading out to our fabulously talented chefs and restaurants.

Rosie heard on the grape vine that yesterday was #nationaldogday !
(Of course, being a full time rabbit chaser and sheep wrangler, this sort of news tends to reach her a little late🐶)
Appreciative nonetheless of the fabulous work you do (excluding the rolling in fox business), here's to you Rosie! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Harvesting camomile has fast become a weekly job here, we use it in all sorts of concoctions, including the fantastic serenity tea blend (check out our website for more information!). In the summer sun, the smell of the flowers is enough to send you off to sleep right there in the grass 🌼🌿🍵

Is there anything more joyous than a fresh elderflower harvest? These were taken back in June when all the elderflower trees here on the hill were in full bloom! 🌼🌼(sorry we are playing catch up in the old Instagram!)

Yesterday on one of our regular 'pond life' adventures we spotted these incredible dragonflies! After watching the first emerge from its nymph form(?) and fly off, we brought the exoskeleton(??) in to have a closer look.

Nature really is incredible.

❤️ OCA DE PERU ❤️
.
We love this South American tuber so much here at the Husbandry School that we line all our garden beds with them. So multidimensional, their beautiful fresh citrus flavour can be eaten raw and cooked, their leaves have the same zesty almost apple-y flavour.
🏵️🐞🏵️
Not only are they vibrant and delicious they are also contain Oxalic Acid (Oxalis Tuberosa, clues in the name!) which bugs and pests hate, so they help to ward off any unwanted critters in our flower and veg patches! 🐌🐜🐛
