Join us for an early autumn day in our lovely fields, with master hedge layer Phil Atkinson!

We will learn all the important traditional techniques for renewing hedgerows with the ancient craft of hedge laying, bringing back vigour and wildlife habitat to older or outgrown native hedges.

Tools and tea and cake are provided, and this is a hands on workshop, so we will work together on a section of hedge using skills you can take away and apply in your own garden.

Still need convincing?! Head to Paul Lamb and deep dive into this rich tradition.

Booking required - head to What’s On on our website.

SO MANY GOOD THINGS.

Hazel rescues bats. So naturally she has one with her. Perhaps our first ever bat guest. It’s a boy pipistrelle BTW.

Then Edward and Kester (and Pip 🐕) installing 4 beautiful bespoke benches in our community orchard, Diana’s Orchard. Come and try them, they’re so comfy.

Not a great pic but the rejuvenated Ungarden looks amazing despite last weeks heatwave. Gorgeous reseda and echium especially and lots of germinating hollyhocks for next year’s bonanza.

Now here’s a surprise - self seeded celery in the Beer Garden! TONS of it, all in dry hot cracks in the paving. Who knew.

Lovely little mallow, also near the Beer Garden growing in sweet FA.

Our loveliest mature tree - our weeping larch (I think!) beside the Bar door - couldn’t care less about the heatwave and just a lovely cool, green shady thing to walk under and look up through on your way to your room.

Nice wee sedum at the foot of a wall - might be edible? Lovely to see tho.

GRAPES! Growing outside in the Beer Garden. May need to fight the birds off for them tho.

Lastly a splendid lettuce in our veg plot - variety is ‘Cocarde’ as trialled and chosen as the GOAT by Head of Veg Matt in 2023.

Lots on tomorrow for at the pub - check the What’s On page on the website. Cafe Teen !! open 11-4pm if you need delicious sustainance!

Grey sky today but still SO MUCH GOING ON IN OUR GARDENS!
Gorgeous rambler rose on our workshop (variety unknown but could be ‘Chevy Chase’), a white deutzia by the Japanese fermentation barn chock full of bumble bees, an Angelica with more heads than we’ve ever seen - and in its 3rd year from seed too, our rejuvenated car park Ungarden (2 soil-less beds of pure slate and pure limestone gravel, sown with seed in 2023 and again this May) with thanks to in for the great edging, and a beautiful thornless blackberry ‘Oachita’ we have trained by the workshop door for easy snacking 😍.

When we invited Moth Guru Rob Pickett to our open weekend at Lawson Park last June, we had no idea how excited we would get about MOTHS 🤩.
I mean, there are circa 2500 kinds in the UK, compared to a mere 60 butterflies and naturally they’re an indicator of a richly biodiverse landscape!

So we have invited Rob back and this time to our fields and gardens at The Farmer’s Arms where he will leave out his amazing moth traps for the night before our very special morning event on Saturday, July 4 for - this is just one of a host of special events we are doing, including a Scythe Weekender and a Making a Meadow Workshop.

Then over a tasty al fresco breakfast freshly made in our kitchens (incl.
in the ticket price) Rob will guide us through all the incredible moth varieties that he will have caught that evening. And don’t worry, the traps are humane and all moths are gently re released after studying and ID’ing them.

Expect some common beauties and probably some rarities too - at Lawson Park Rob identified no fewer than 114 individual species of moths in one night!

You might have heard of some of them - for example the elephant hawk moth - but there will be others that may be new to you. The names are just one of the lovely things about them - who doesn’t want to spot the Smoky Wainscott or even the Small Fan Foot?!

There are just 10 tickets left, at £15 full / £11 concession. Head to What’s On at our website to book.
