Finding Inspiration in Nature

“Engaging with my garden in any way at all makes me feel better in myself; it focuses the mind, eliminates negative thoughts and keeps me fit. Win win win.”

Fresh and vibrant, this delectable recipe is the centrepiece of our summer lunch menu, celebrating the edible flowers and herbs growing in abundance in our gardens this summer.

The time for al fresco lunches has arrived. Our Thyme tart recipe is sustaining and seriously flavourful; a welcome pick-me-up after a sunny walk through the wild meadows.
